AMSI Graduation Booklet 2022

Congratulations! !كرابم جرخت

44ndGraduation Ceremony

Responsibility… Leadership… Tolerance… Respect…Commitment…

Care…

These core values are embedded in our graduates’ aspirations, spirit, and DNA. We’ve seen them confront numerous challenges, from battling a pandemic to aiding nations in need, all of which they have met with resilience, dexterity, and optimism.

On this special occasion, we celebrate a significant milestone in your academic pursuits and the profound journey of selfdiscovery that has defined your time at Al Mawakeb. Nothing we will say will quantify the depth of pride and joy we feel for what you have become, and it is our hope the lessons you learned here will propel you into a bright future ahead. You represent our best chance, strongest ideals, and optimistic promise that tomorrow’s world can and will be a better place.

As we come together to honor your achievements, let us reflect on the transformative power of education, particularly the enduring impact of one fundamental aspect: reading. During your time in school, amidst the whirlwind of assignments, exams, and extra-curricular activities, the value of reading has been a constant and continuous catalyst in enriching your understanding of your lessons and the world. It has helped broaden your perspectives, making you the well-rounded person you are today.

In January 2024, the school launched Al Mawakeb Reads with the belief that reading is not just about being labeled literate or educated but about kindling creativity and innovation. Reading is one of the strongest signals for success, for it allows people to discover new worlds and ideas that challenge and inspire them to grow.

Over the years, we learned that our core values of tolerance, acceptance, care, and respect are reinforced through the power of reading. We can step into the shoes of others and see the world through diverse lenses. Every day, we witness how reading cultivates empathy by exploring cultures, histories, and experiences, nurturing a deeper connection to the world around us.

Words, whether found in books, articles, or signs, spark innovation and inspire change. Joseph Addison once said, “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” It feeds our intellectual curiosity, fuels our creativity, and unlocks new possibilities for progress and discovery.

As you stand on the threshold of a new chapter in your lives, remember the invaluable lessons learned from what you’ve read. Real progress requires knowledge, and there is no better way to gain this knowledge than by immersing yourselves in the written word.

Class of 2024, we hope you go where you are wanted, where your voice is heard, and where your talents and skills are valued. We hope you find joy, inspiration, and endless opportunities for growth. We hope your thirst for knowledge continues to burn bright and the wisdom you gain guides you on your path to success.

So many skilled orators gathered to gain the opportunity to speak on behalf of their classmates. This was their chance to express their feelings, happiness, gratitude and anxiety about leaving this familiar home to seek new accomplishments. As usual, the judges had the challenging task of choosing the best, and the best were many, for all of them spoke words from the heart. So many impressed and dazzled with their sincerity, confidence, and maturity. The scores were close, but finalists were finally selected. Again, more rigorous auditions took place, but finally our anxious finalists rushed to hear the results. Sounds of murmurs, beating hearts and sighs filled the room but only to be later replaced by wonderful smiles expressing how honored and fulfilled they felt at having been chosen.

We are very proud of our finalists, and we hope that their voices will echo in the future and provide inspiration for aspiring AMSI orators.

I can easily recall all the fondest memories of my school days, from our animal-themed school play in third grade to the bus rides during school trips, and finally, to the day we received our caps and gowns - the moment it truly hit us that we’d made it. We shall never be here again, and there’s something tragically sweet about that. We must savor every hug, every tear, and every sacrifice we’ve endured to be here, as we have all graciously earned the right to walk across the stage with pride and write the next page of our lives - nonetheless owed to our dearest teachers and mentors. This is not the end of our chapter but the beginning of another novel of our lives.

Dana Khawaja-12C, Al Mawakeb Al Garhoud

Reflecting on my experiences at Al Mawakeb, I realize the importance of adding another pillar to this foundation: maintaining healthy relationships. Throughout my academic pursuit, I chased numerous goals, particularly during the pinnacle of my high school journey in grade 12. Achieving these milestones brought fleeting satisfaction, prompting me to ponder, “Is this all?” It dawned on me that focusing on these goals was my greatest regret. Reflecting on my high school years, I recognize that while striving for success, I neglected meaningful relationships. I’m grateful to have learned this lesson early, understanding that while hard work is essential, it should not overshadow the importance of human connections.

Jaafar Jawad-12B, Al Mawakeb Al Garhoud

so many skilled orators...

Dans chaque défi relevé, chaque projet réalisé et chaque objectif atteint, j’ai réalisé l’impact profond d’un leadership efficace. Qu’il s’agisse de diriger une équipe dans un projet de groupe, d’organiser un événement scolaire ou simplement de prêter main-forte à un pair dans le besoin, j’ai été témoin du pouvoir de l’inspiration, de la collaboration et de la résilience… Alors que nous nous engageons sur notre chemin individuel, gardons cette leçon avec nous, en nous donnant, ainsi qu’aux autres, les moyens de viser l’excellence, de surmonter l’adversité et de faire une différence positive dans le monde.

Hamzah Jeha-12D, Al Mawakeb Al Garhoud

One of the most important lessons we learned during our sweet time at Al Mawakeb is the value of perseverance, which shaped our decisions and outcomes. Throughout our academic journey, we have encountered challenges and experienced moments of doubt. Still, it is during these times that we have learned to persevere, push through obstacles, and never give up on our goals. Also, we have discovered the strength to persevere even when the path ahead seemed daunting, a quality embodied through an ideal student at Al Mawakeb.Al Mawakeb has taught us endless lessons, encouraging us to strive for greatness and excellence. As we bid farewell to this chapter of our lives and step into the vast unknown of our futures, let us carry the lessons we’ve learned, the friendships we’ve made, and the memories we’ll always cherish.

Layla ElGhaziri-12F, Al Mawakeb Al Barsha

Let us take a moment to look back at our unforgettable memories at Al Mawakeb. Remember when we used to hang out at Al Barsha Park or walk each other to the bus area after school or those deep talks we had on the bleachers during recess? Each friend we made, lesson we learned, and hallway we walked enriched our lives forever. Let us remember our academic journey, from the ABCs to the complexities of advanced quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. We went through it all and never had a dull moment at Al Mawakeb. But then, let’s not forget the teachers, their patience, and their guidance through it all. Each memory brought a story, a lesson, or a laugh.

Mustafa

Al Rawas-12D, Al Mawakeb Al Barsha

Au cours de mes années passées dans cette institution, j’ai accompli plusieurs choses, des nuits blanches à réviser pour un examen jusqu’aux matins où je terminais mes devoirs à la dernière minute. Cependant, ce que je chérirai toujours, c’est notre capacité à collaborer pour créer des activités enrichissantes, telles que les ateliers sur des sujets comme la lutte contre le harcèlement ou la préservation de l’environnement. À travers ces expériences, j’ai appris l’importance de la patience, l’amélioration de mes compétences en communication et l’approche respectueuse envers autrui. De plus, j’ai tissé des amitiés durables, que je souhaite voir perdurer dans les années à venir.

Paul Bou Antoun-12D, Al Mawakeb Al Garhoud

Al Mawakeb has taught us to be eager, passionate, and resilient and prepared us to embrace opportunities with open arms and eager hearts. It has taught us to cheer each other on through triumphs and pick each other up after setbacks. As we step into the future, we are empowered to navigate life’s ever-changing landscape with confidence and determination… To our teachers and heads of section: Your belief in us often exceeded our own, and your dedication has shaped not just our intellect but our character. You saw potential where we saw limits. You cheered for our achievements and stood by us through challenges, teaching us not just about the subjects in books but about life. Thank you...

Zena Ghebeh-12F, Al Mawakeb Al Garhoud

Quand je repense à toutes ces belles années à Al Mawakeb, un souvenir se démarque particulièrement. C’est le souvenir de toute mon enfance passée dans cette école, où des amitiés ont fleuri et des liens se sont forgés… Tout au long de notre scolarité, … une leçon se démarque : ne jamais abandonner. “Ne jamais abandonner”, n’est pas seulement un dicton, c’est un rappel de notre force, de notre résilience et de notre détermination. Alors que nous avançons vers l’avenir, portons cette leçon avec nous. Rappelons-nous que peu importe les obstacles que nous rencontrons, nous avons la force et le courage de les surmonter.

Maya Mustapha-12C, Al Mawakeb Al Garhoud

Memories from when I entered the school gates 14 years ago to this very moment flood my mind. I will forever remember the moment I walked into my first Scouts camp as a nervous fourth grader, unsure of what I would experience. Looking back at the memories, I can recall the marbled tiles and colorful chairs of our classrooms where our laughter and voices echoed across the school. Al Mawakeb has been a home to many of us—where we’ve laughed, cried, and grown up together. Today marks the commencement of a new chapter in our lives, filled with dreams waiting to be realized and aspirations waiting to be achieved. However, I stand here, unsure of what I am about to experience. This time, I am not a nervous fourth grader; I am a graduate, waiting to experience the life I have ahead of me.

Heba AlHalawani-12C, Al Mawakeb Al Barsha

Aujourd’hui, alors que nous célébrons notre remise de diplômes, permettez-moi de parler au nom des diplômés de la promotion 2024 d’AL Mawakeb Al Khawaneej. Une leçon importante que j’ai apprise à l’école est de toujours apprécier les personnes qui m’entourent. Chacun de vous, mes camarades, mes enseignants dévoués et mes parents aimants, a joué un rôle crucial dans mon parcours éducatif et personnel. Apprendre à reconnaître et à valoriser leur influence a été une leçon précieuse qui me guidera dans mes futurs défis. Au cours de mes années de lycée, j’ai démontré du leadership, de la résilience et une croissance personnelle en apprenant à considérer les perspectives des autres et à penser au bien-être de ceux qui m’entourent, pas seulement au mien. Cette capacité à voir au-delà de moi-même m’a permis de mieux comprendre le monde et de devenir une personne plus épanouie. En conclusion, je tiens à exprimer ma profonde gratitude envers chacun d’entre vous. Félicitations à tous, et que nos chemins continuent de se croiser dans les années à venir.

Lamees Khawaja-12A Al Mawakeb Al Khawaneej

Looking back on my time at Al Mawakeb, I see 13 years filled with joy, laughter, and friendship. Yet, alongside these moments were reflections, growth, and vital lessonslessons that continue to guide us and propel us towards independence, responsibility, and the power to shape our futures. My time at this school has instilled in me creativity, persistence, and purpose, but one lesson has proven to be invaluable to me: the importance of resilience and confidence. Throughout my educational journey, I’ve encountered new challenges and evolving environments. Whether navigating the aftermath of the global pandemic or tackling a group project, these experiences have not only taught me the importance of versatility, but also of patience, and showed me that change, as difficult as it may be, is nothing to be afraid of. As we prepare to move forward, let us embrace change and take these lessons to heart to face what tomorrow holds with determination, knowing that we have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world.

Mona Nouri-12F, Al Mawakeb Al Barsha

Fellow graduates, as you embark on this new journey, I want to share a few important reminders. First, never stop learning. The world is constantly evolving, and your ability to adapt and grow will be vital to staying ahead. Second, always believe in yourself. You can achieve anything you set your mind to, so trust in your abilities and strive for greatness. Finally, always remember the importance of giving back. Use your talents and skills not just for personal success but also to positively impact the lives of others and contribute to the betterment of society. As you leave here today, carry with you a sense of pride, purpose, and possibility. You have the power to change the world, to make a difference, and to create a brighter future for generations to come.

Al Mawakeb, a special home for 14 years...

Among the class of 2024, there exists an exceptional cohort of students who warrant special recognition – a group that has called Al Mawakeb their home for the past 14 years.

We still remember as they walked in, clutching their parents’ hands, battling tears and apprehension, only to be swiftly embraced by a wave of excitement—a sense of security, camaraderie, and personal growth.

We watched as they commenced their journey of self-discovery, transitioning from curious 4-year-olds to confident, knowledgeable, and resourceful adolescents with a resounding voice and presence.

While many see school as a place for education and growth, for those who have spent 14 transformative years here, Al Mawakeb has become a sanctuary, holding memories that have shaped them into the individuals they are today. Walking through the bustling hallways brimming with student life, they realize the depth of their connection to this place they call home. They are part of a family that began many years ago, united when they stepped through those school doors for the first time. Today, they are about to start a new chapter. Their bond with their school will endure, and the memories they carry within them will forever keep them connected.
