He achieved one thing that for almost all of scholars, particularly with this yr’s matters within the Panhellenic exams, appeared unimaginable. Ilida Vavva of the 2nd Arsakeion Lyceum Psychikos wrote an absolute 20 in Physics and Arithmetic, whereas she was additionally very shut within the Chemistry course, wherein she wrote 19.9, whereas within the Exhibition she achieved a formidable 18.2. In whole, she collected 19,620 factors, with herself setting a bow for the College of Electrical and Laptop Engineering of NTUA.
“We wrote a day with 40 levels Celsius”
Chatting with BHIMA, Ilida feedback on this yr’s topics in Physics – which have been characterised as essentially the most tough in recent times – highlighting the significance of retaining her cool. “The primary and second topics are often the simple ones with which college students gather factors. This yr, these have been fairly tough. Additionally the view of the topics affected us. We wrote on a 40 diploma Celsius day with the matters totaling 10 pages. There have been speeches that have been a complete A4 web page. To handle them required plenty of composure, which I used to be fortunate to take care of. Nonetheless, I do know tales of different youngsters who, whereas they may simply handle the content material of the topics, at that second froze.”
“Success relies upon an excessive amount of on luck”
In truth, Ilida says that she by no means scored a pure 100% in both Physics or Arithmetic through the yr, underlining the significance of luck within the grading of the candidates’ papers: “Success, for these grades, is essential by luck. To the luck of the day and to the luck of the proofreader. Particularly for this yr’s topics that needed an excessive amount of justification, the proofreader had an excessive amount of weight on his arms. To evaluate whether or not the justification is enough and appropriately formulated. I used to be very fortunate on this half”.
“I had constructed a really strong basis”
After all, she additionally stands by the significance of studying, which doesn’t begin within the third Lyceum. Its foundations are constructed from a really early age: Studying, as cliche as it could sound, doesn’t start within the final grade of highschool, not even in the summertime of second highschool. Arithmetic, Physics, Chemistry and Essay, are topics that don’t begin in Excessive College. That’s the reason we will need to have a information and a thought from all the opposite years. With the assistance of the varsity I had constructed a really strong information base and did not need to cowl many gaps from earlier courses.
“I would love an training system with much less stress”
Seeing the Panhellenic examination system from the winner’s viewpoint, she factors out the issues that plague it. “I’m ready the place I might say that the system is great as a result of it has rewarded me for my efforts, however one can not say that it doesn’t have issues, the largest being the place it holds within the consciousness of society. Panhellenic anxiousness, with the concept it’s one thing crucial, begins from the primary yr of highschool, typically from highschool as effectively, and so the scholars give weight to the 4 programs they select to take. I would love an training system with much less stress on 4 topics, offering a extra rounded training.”
“If a proposal got here from overseas I might contemplate it very severely”
What are Ilida’s ideas concerning the future, is overseas in her plans? “I really like Greece very a lot, however I do know that overseas may give me alternatives that sadly can’t be present in my nation but. I believe that going to the Greek college I wish to go overseas, even for a short while, for a grasp’s diploma. If a proposal got here from overseas I might contemplate it very severely. However, at all times with the imaginative and prescient of no matter I acquire from information, from expertise, to by some means return it to Greek society. As a result of I really feel that Greece itself has made an funding in us presently and I really need by some means all this effort to be returned to her,” he concludes.
