Started attending Svitlo: September 2022

Responsibilities: 

• Buddy: I help new students to adapt, explain how Svitlo operates, and answer any questions the students might have.
• The Captain of House Hibernia:  
  
  • I am the representative and leader of the House.   
  • I'm responsible for supporting active communication in the House group, informing about school meetings, tasks and events.  
  • Once per two weeks I conduct interesting quizzes for House participants, and I can also give additional House points to students.
• Business Case Competition: I participated in a competition from Deloitte Digital and UCL, where my team created a rebranding strategy for an educational charity in Africa. I took part in the "Skills for the Future" project from the educational platform EdPlace. We worked together with mentors on key skills important for our future life. We chose a problem that bothered us (in our case, the problem of environmental pollution) and looked for a solution to it (our idea was to create a mobile application-social network in which caring people would gather together and clean up certain polluted places).

At the moment, I am a part of the GSL project - Global Social Leaders. I am working with other Svitlo students on the topic "Burnout and Overworking".

• Mini-prefect for the lesson "Hatha Yoga". My responsibilities include keeping a register and monitoring activity in the classroom.
• Manager of the House System: I meet new students to the school and assign them to Houses.
• Reading Buddy: Every week, I teach reading lessons for the younger group, that is, I help them read English literature - correct them, help with pronunciation, write out unfamiliar words, etc.

I want to enter my dream university, as well as study and live abroad in the future.
