Being in Choueifat for 14 years has come to an end and it feels really different. The feeling
of waking up to my last periodic, last HW exam, and the last time I see the people that I have
grown up with. I would like to thank all the teachers that helped me get to where I am today. I
would also like to thank my family for being with me all the way. My best friends and I always
encouraged each other to keep going and finally we made it! I will forever remember all the
amazing memories I made with everyone. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me.

Writing this is such a bittersweet feeling. I still remember entering class for the first time in Gr.
6 not knowing how much this school would mean to me. Time has truly yet unbelievably flown
by and now, nearly 7 years later, I can proudly say we really are graduating; something which
I’ve been dreaming of for as long as I can remember but never thought would be this difficult.
A new chapter begins in our lives while we sadly but excitedly close one of the best ones to
have gone through and I couldn’t have asked for better people to have experienced it with. We
grew up together, countless memories were made, and friends became family. I am grateful
for every moment spent in Choueifat. To my parents and brothers, thank you for giving me the
encouragement and support I needed to complete this journey, Thank you for everything. I love
you all. Seniors 2020, we’ve finally made it!
