Why?
People have been putting a lot of pressure on us, sophomores, telling us how hard it is going to be and how much effort we will need to put into our IB work. Since it is extremely important role in our curriculum, especially when it comes to entering a good university. It will definately shape our future.

21. Walk in Greek Streets


Greece is considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. Located in Europe, Greece has more bodies of water occupying the country than land. Also, it is there where one can find awsome beaches and historical constructions all around. The civilization started with the Ottoman Empire, and now  a days receives people from everywhere. Full of little streets and houses, Greece has been growing and still continues a wonderful place that could even be called, paradise.

Why?
Because Greece is beautiful and I've always considered it a fascinating place where I'd enjoy a lot to go. The constructions and the straight streets enphasize the fruitfull culture and the beautiful beaches make of Greece, the perfect place to visit.

20. Travel in a Submarine


The submarine is a watercraft, and is capable of carrying up to 150 people. Its like a plane, just that it travels underwater. Going more than 1,300 meters, the submarine travels in a speed of about 60 km/h. Invented in 1864, the submarine is used until today and is very useful in wars and other situations.

Why?
My grandfather already went in a submarine and told me it is a memorable experience. I'd like to travel in a submarine because it is totally submerged and maybe there are extraordinary views and animals that we are able to see. Also, it is an experience that not many people in the world have the opportunity to go through. The only fear I have is that if water enters the submarine somehow, and there is no way to take the water out, it will sink down if the crew takes too long to solve the issue and in a place so deep, there is no way I'd survive.

19. Watch Lifehouse Playing Live


Lifehouse is an alternative band originated in Los Angeles. With more than fifteen million singles, the band is a total success and has sold out many tickets in their world wide performances. Their first album for instance, was called Lifehouse and has one of their most famous single, "You and Me", that appeared in more than 6 movies and was downloaded by four million people, according to the Itunes program. Clearly, they are a talented group that has been increasing their success throughout the ages.

Why?
I love Lifehouse and their songs are quite inspiring for me. The lyrics are deep and the rythm is most of the time slow and smooth. Their music talks about difficulties that each and everyone of us face sometimes and the lyrics gives us strength to carry on when we face these problems, like the song "Hanging by a Moment".
