SALUTATORIAN
Being at Brewster for two years taught me a lot … and exposed me to a new culture, tradition, and way of living. I had the opportunity to get involved in matters related to social justice and attend national conferences … But it also provided me with a chance to clear some stereotypes that some people had about the Middle East. … not every place in the Middle East is either a desert or a war-zone. For me, I come from Oman, a safe country in the Middle East. I Iive in the middle of the city, and I have all what I need. In fact, my neighborhood has all sorts of fast food chains such as McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Dominos pizza, and even Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts are near by. That’s even more than what we have here in Wolfeboro. ABDULLAH AL FARSI is now at University of Washington

Coach [Matt] Lawlor you were my biggest motivation in basketball … I remembered that you played me for 19 minutes in total for the whole season back in my sophomore year. I almost quit basketball. But I know I am not a quitter. So ever since then, every time I walked into the Smith Center, getting ready for my practice, your voice “you can’t shoot the basketball” always resonated in my ear, which gave me that competitive fire and drive I needed to become a better player. I did become a better player and I have this year’s Lakes Region All-Star selection to show for it. Thank you for challenging me as my coach.
