UISG MYP Special Features Personal Project Showcase 2015 | Page 17

Seo Hee (Nadia) Choi Hello everyone! I am Nadia Choi from South Korea and this is my seventh year at Utahloy International School. Since I love to sing and to perform in front of an audience, my hobby is to do band activities, such as battle of the bands. There is a considerable amount of people who suffer from a variety of diseases since they did not get sufficient nutrients from an unbalanced diet. Hence, for my Personal Project, I made a health supplement juice which is to be taken on a daily basis, providing essential nutrients to our bodies. The ingredients are all accessible in local supermarkets or in online stores; Tomato, blueberry, etc. You are more than welcome to visit my booth and test my juice! Sanya Madnani My name is Sanya Manglani and I am from India. I have been a part of the IB for over 8 years now, and I can confidently say that the Personal Project has been of the most challenging yet memorable experiences. For this project, I produced an awareness campaign consisting of a video, a brochure and two flyers, in order to promote healthy eating amongst teenagers. After completing all the stages of this project – from the research stage to the evaluating stage - I feel as if I have developed and changed a lot as an IB student and a problem-based learner. In addition, I believe that I have greatly enhanced my time-management and self- management skills. This project has had a very positive impact on me, and I now feel more prepared and better equipped to face my next challenge – Year 11.
