An IB student is balanced. You HAVE to be BOTH open-minded AND a risk-taker. Also, joining a protest where you have the risk of being killed or injured does not necessarily mean you are knowledgeable -Another IB student profile you are missing. Its just plain stupid.
BUT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR A SINGLE GUNFIRE, DIDN'T I? ALSO, IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS, SAVING THE NATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
