How about you, Ella? What was your message to the lawmakers?
6:12
My biggest takeaway from This whole IB advocacy day and credit and recognition is the fact that I can relate to on a personal level.
6:21
And so I was telling the legislators my message of how I plan on studying psychology in college.
6:28
And I obviously want to try to get my prereqs out of the way by getting college credit and being awarded for all the hard work I put into this class.
6:35
But with the current situation of recognition for IB classes, I will not be permitted that acknowledgement.
6:43
And so I'm having to take the AP tests in the spring, even though I've never even taken the AP psychology test.
6:50
And I feel like that shows the inequality with the scoring of IB.

So Ella, why don't you talk a little bit about your diploma pathway, the courses you're taking, why you chose to do that and kind of how you envision that helping you in the future?
