Meet Mireia Lladó '20, who attended ASB for 15 years since PreKindergarten 3, together with her brother, Adria Lladó '16. With roots in Bolivia, Mireia has lived her entire life in Barcelona. This year she started studying Graphic Design at the University of the Arts London. While some of her classes have shifted online due to Covid19, Mireia also attends some lectures in person and can use university facilities.



How prepared were you after completing the IBDP for university studies?

"The IBDP allowed me to grow as a student - through open-mindedness, learning valuable skills like critical thinking and communication. All attributes that help me to excel in many of my classes today - especially since Graphic Design is all about working with others, receiving constant feedback, and pushing myself to improve."

What experiences from ASB inspired who you are today?

"Being a part of Model United Nations (MUN) helped me to become an outspoken person and a great communicator, I'm not afraid of expressing my voice regarding my ideas and opinions. MUN truly inspired me to become more global, opened minded, and sparked an interest in me to engage in ways to improve our world."



Tell us a little about any extracurricular activities at ASB.

"During my time at ASB, I had the pleasure of being a part of the BCNMUN executive team for two years consecutively, as well as the varsity girls soccer team throughout all of high school. Both experiences allowed me to grow as a person and exposed me to meet many people, pushing me out of my comfort zone."



What would be a favorite ASB memory?

"Although having many memories at ASB, my favorite memory would have to be winning the 2020 IBERIAN soccer tournament. Through blood, sweat, and tears, I couldn't have been prouder of my team, seeing how all the hard work we had gone through that year had finally paid off, and we were able to bring the trophy back home. It was a very heartfelt moment and a perfect way to say goodbye to my time as an ASB athlete."

In your opinion, what makes ASB special?

"ASB is a community like no other. You truly make friends for life, create bonds with teachers, and staff which makes ASB a home to treasure for life."

What are you thinking about doing after graduation?

"After graduation, I hope to work in the field of design and hopefully branch out into the fashion industry."

Any advice for ASB high school students?

"Always push yourself to improve and never give up. Although it may be tough, it will all pay off in the end. Enjoy the time you have with your friends and treasure every moment."



If you could describe ASB in one word, what would it be?

"Family."
