ABDOLSALAM GHANBARI

Senior Quote

Although my school career may not have been filled with many standout moments, I consider it to be a special experience because of the various events that occurred throughout it. Firstly, I must say that the Biology experiments were both fun and challenging. English was also enjoyable for me; I particularly liked my teacher's personality. On the other hand, physical education wasn't quite as enjoyable for me as I preferred spending time in the gym.

What Would I like the Next Generation to Learn out of Life?

One thing I want the generation to learn out of life is to respect others, no matter what. Sometimes we might say things that seem normal to us, but they can be offensive or annoying to someone else. So we need to be careful about how we talk to others and try to understand where they're coming from

My Dreams for the Future

My future plans are to become an investor as I am passionate about expanding my father's business. He has contributed a lot to our family, and I am grateful for all the support he has provided me over the years. By investing in his business, I hope to help him take it to the next level & continue his legacy of hard work and dedication.

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world. At the end of each day, make sure you can look at yourself in the mirror and hold your head high.

"My subject is Art. Someone once said that Art does not necessarily mean doing beautiful things but doing things in a beautiful way. As I hope for myself, I also hope for you that you will have beautiful and accomplished lives. Take your time, watch, analyse, compare, and don’t be afraid to follow your dreams. Always keep this in mind: there is no easy road in anything you do in life, from one end to the other. There’s no such thing! So it's better not to search for the easy road, but to fulfil your ambitions with all the tools and qualities that you have, or gain along the way.

Karl Lagerfeld, when asked to give an example of 3 steps to success, said: “The whole staircase! Things are done step by step. Sometimes you go two steps back. And that’s a healthy thing. Nobody has a one-line career. That doesn’t exist”

Diane Von Furstenberg said, “ If you doubt your powers, you give power to your doubts”. Have a wonderful life!

Mr. Alex

"Every day of my time at KGIS has been spent with you amazing people! From online learning, to distanced classes with masks and brown food bags! We’ve been on boat trips, eaten “fittiq” and learned a bit of Physics along the way! Thank you for keeping going (and keeping me going) for the past 3 years. I wish you all the best in whatever you do!"

Mr. Tom

"Always strive to be the best in whatever you do. Be humble and let your actions speak for you. Wishing you all the best for the future."

Ms. Jay
