I think PSE has really changed my opinion about how we’ve been learning. During my time in PSE, I have learned a lot about how intelligence isn’t just what you know e.g. facts memories, but it can also be a way of understanding who you are and who the people around you are. Emotional intelligence helps a person to understand better their best and worst personality traits and how they view those traits. It also helps someone to improve the best parts of themselves while minimizing the impact of the worst parts. Finally, PSE helps to make situations more clearly and it helps me to understand what I’m fabricating about a situation and how the real-life situation isn’t as bad as it might seem at first.

For me personally, I think that PSE will be very helpful, in how I look at and am able to handle myself in and throughout IB. IB will soon become a lot more difficult. I think that knowing that I have poor self-management skills and could improve on my organization could really help me. Along with that being conscientious of how my biases will affect how stressed I get about some situations will affect my a lot over the course of IB, as in the past I have done that where I have set unrealistic expectations because of how I view a situation.
