Apologies

Many apologies for our graduates, Maher Abdel Samad ’17 and Andrew Bismar ’17 for inadvertently switching your pictures in the Spring Newsletter 2017 issue. Here they are again: right names for the right pictures!

Maher Abdel Samad Accepted at UPenn, Columbia and Johns Hopkins

My ‘thing’ is my ambition and energy. I love to be a leader. I was a class representative for two years. I also helped organize and headed the MUN trip to India, where my team won the best delegation and I received a trophy. I am also the Vice-Captain of the IC Varsity Rugby team. I teach English and SAT to underprivileged kids and teenagers. In my spare time, I help out the guidance counseling office here at IC. I like to help other kids find their passion. On the side of all this, I am also a professional DJ. I trained to be a DJ at a music school and earn my own pocket money by being a DJ at parties.

Andrew Bismar Accepted at McGill, Toronto University, and British Columbia

My ‘thing’ is effective time management. I do sailing, tennis, ping pong and swimming as hobbies as well as scouts. I am on the IC Badminton team and am also the class representative. I also volunteer with an NGO that cares for disabled children.
