<p>We had contemplated withdrawing from the summer internship but the IB Advisor and guidance counselor said we are so proud of her. She should absolutely do this internship. All the HL IB science teachers met with the IB advisor to try to come up with a solution for my daughter. My daughter was surprised when she had her science teachers coming up to her and congratulating her because they had no idea what she was doing outside of the classroom. She is on the quieter side. Everyone at school is very encouraging and supportive.
If the internship and EE can not be combined that we are thinking she should choose another area for the EE perhaps a Business EE. She is looking at examples from different subject areas.<br>
Our school is very big on the IB program. Even if a student is not completing the IB diploma program they are highly encouraged to register for an IB class if they are at least an honors student.<br>
I think either way diploma/certificate she will be successful if she follows her passion and genuine interests. The IB Diploma/certificate students really support each other. It is a tight knit community since they are all going through challenges in the process of earning the IB diploma. We have at a very positive experience in our counties public school system.</p>
