THEME PAGE Express Yourself in Color Rainbow Nation is a term coined by Desmond Tutu when referring to the nation of South Africa post-Apartheid. It was used to highlight the multicultural population of the country as well as its newfound acceptance of diversity. A rainbow nation is not only a country but a way of life.
The theme, Express Yourself in Color, is so fitting for this year’s yearbook because it is a celebration of LCS’s various and diverse personalities, as well as recognizing the safe space that is our school community for both the staff and the students.

At LCS, it’s ingrained in our mindset, our actions, and our worldviews. The only way we know how to express ourselves is through the vibrant colors of diversity we are surrounded by every day.
At LCS we maintain unity through a respectful and open environment that always embraces difference and individuality. So join us in dreaming and expressing ourselves in color!

Shout out to Hala Jabeile, the only veteran member of the group, who did an amazing job getting pictures and quotes from all the elusive seniors and designing the senior pages, among innumerable other tasks she managed for the yearbook this year.

The yearbook staff this year was almost entirely new to the process, but we've loved learning how to make a yearbook and having the opportunity to create something that will embody this school year and last for years to come. We started off with several defined roles (photographer, designer, reporter, etc.), but over time those lines began to blur, and by the end almost everyone had taken their turn at photographing events and designing pages.
Mr. Kwame
Miss. Ruth
Special credit for creativity goes to Roopali Vaswani, who designed the yearbook cover (more about her on the last page), and then decided she wanted to design the inside too, and ended up scrupulously picking all the different colored borders for each student portrait, as well as designing a number of other colorful pages. Our yearbook crew was relatively small this year, but we ranged from grades 6-12, and had a lot of different perspectives to add. Everyone in the yearbook staff deserves a special mention, because it took all of us to show how LCS can Express Itself in Color.

Head of School I write this message on the day of our now annual Mother Tongue language assembly, on the eve of our cherished International Day. It has, once again, filled me with pride at belonging to such a culturally rich learning community. There's a special kind of creative energy here at LCS that comes from more than just the natural hustle and bustle of campus life; there’s an incredible spirit of togetherness and diversity of perspectives that come from students, families, faculty and staff representing more than 60 nationalities. Never forget that it takes work -- at times hard work -- building an inter-cultural community. Here in my third year as the Head of School at LCS, I remain convinced of the power of our mission, vision, shared values, and approaches to teaching to serve as the “secret sauce” in fostering international mindedness, in sustaining our community, and in preparing students for our increasingly interconnected world.

As you flip through the pages of this yearbook, we invite you to reminisce and reflect on the highlights of the school year both in and out of the classroom. Thank you to the Yearbook staff, Mr. Kwame, and Miss Ruth for creating this lasting reminder of the 2019-2020 school year. Thank you to everyone in our school community, staff, parents, PTO, alumni and students, for a remarkable year. To all of the families leaving LCS at the end of this year, we wish you continued success; please know that you are always welcomed at LCS. To all of us who will return next year, we wish you a safe and rewarding summer. Warmly, Mrs. Sheena Nabholz Head of School

Student Represent Council
President
Anthony Mensah
Being a part of the SRC for the past four years has allowed me to experience so many challenges, yet also have fun. Of course each year there were new grade representatives and executive members, but the SRC never failed to host popular events such as Chopped, Lincoln Factor, Quiz night, and more. This year was different. The SRC pushed for students' voices to be heard and gained respect from the administration of Lincoln. We gave students a voice, and acted upon any concerns they shared with us. To me, that was the most impactful process through my years being a student representative. This year, we changed what it means to be a part of SRC and we created a new event, the town hall, that ensures that years from now, Lincoln students are heard. My fellow SRC executives, Bryce, Noora, Kyla, and Daniel, our crazy arguments during meetings, and our last minute editings of the Monday Assembly slides just made this journey much more memorable. To our SRC supervisors, Mr. Dzorkpata and Mr. Duffield, I appreciate you guiding me through the process of understanding what it means to be a president and a leader. And lastly, to everyone in our Lincoln community, thank you for respecting the SRC through participating and helping us in planning and carrying out events. I am proud to leave Lincoln knowing I have helped create a change within the SRC.

SRC Grade Representatives
Bersabel Tesfamariam Dillion Ansah This year has flown by so fast. It feels like it was yesterday when we were all texting, calling and talking among each other during summer about how scared we were for high school. Not to our surprise, our grade's incredible skill of making even the most overwhelmed times into moments of laughter and joy has helped us to this point and will keep us going! Being a Grade rep has had its ups and downs, but has overall been such an unforgettable and rewarding experience. So thanks to 9th grade for giving us this opportunity!

It has been an honor for both of us to serve our classmates over the course of this academic year. Specifically, we are grateful that we had the opportunity to create a tenth-grade experience that provided students with a memorable last year in the MYP, through a multitude of events and ideas. There were breakfasts provided by students and the PTO, free homeroom periods where students got to play sports in the MPH, an improvement in communication and announcements, and the release of apparel that captures the essence of our diverse and talented class. Both of us are proud of the journey our class has gone through this year, especially our successes and achievements in various fields. It has been one of the most turbulent times of our lives, and our ability to navigate through the stress and adversity has been remarkable.

Being the grade representatives for eleventh grade has been both fulfilling and challenging. The main goal for grade representatives is to embody the voice of our peers in order to enhance not only our grade but the LCS community as a whole. The biggest achievement throughout the year was organizing the overnight retreat. This was the first time in years that an overnight retreat was planned successfully, which was very exciting to be a part of. Another big accomplishment was helping the SRC executives plan out and execute the town hall meeting. This was an important event since it helped students voice what they feel in a safe environment. Overall, being student representatives has been a wonderful experience.

Being grade reps in our senior year has shown us that everything is achievable if you believe in yourself. It was something we never saw happening as we deviate a bit from the social norms of a grade rep: “best and most serious student”. Although it hasn’t been all roses, as we’ve had to juggle this task with other academic tasks, we are grateful that our classmates entrusted us with this great responsibility. This goes to show that by believing in yourself and taking that first step, you’re setting yourself up, unknowingly, for others to believe in you too. 19

Madagascar
The Middle School produced an amazing play, based on the Dreamworks film Madagascar. Madagascar was about how the four main characters, Alex, Marty, Melvin, and Gloria found themselves trapped on an island (Madagascar) and wandered into the jungle only to find annoying Lemurs led by King Julian. Over time, Alex finds himself turning wild, and it’s up to Marty to rescue him from the foosa (a type of hyena) and bring him back before a boat returns to take them back to Central Park Zoo.

Over 80 people took part, and everyone performed fantastically. It was infused with colors and African print costumes, and there was attention to every detail, including the transitions for each scene. Everyone had an important role to play, even the backstage crew, without whom the show couldn’t have taken place. Through this show we expressed our differences, but the most important thing we all shared was our love for acting, singing, dancing, and creating.

One Lincoln Lion summed up the day this way: “IFD is one of the best LCS events of the year! I love it. It’s really fun to learn from the performances and the food is always the best. I feel so fortunate to be able to participate and enjoy this special experience.” IFD 2020 -- a day to remember.

Rudra Singh on his experience...

"Despite all of the grueling time and effort that was spent on the Personal Project, there was a certain beauty to it. This was especially evident to me during the exhibition. As one walked around the maze of projects, it was apparent that every project reflected the passion(s) of the individual behind it. It truly showed the types of students that the MYP aims to mold: students who can take on largescale issues, and address it head on, using their talents in their respective fields, and knowledge, whilst celebrating their individuality. What I saw in the Personal Project, was a celebration of each individual, and an assurance for the future, in regards to our ability to use our individuality for the greater good."

"The Personal Project allows students to demonstrate their ability to connect and transfer the extensive skills, knowledge, and understandings they have acquired in one or more of their MYP disciplines to a global context, in order to achieve a meaningful goal of their own design. The project prepares students for success in the IB Diploma Programme by introducing them to the challenges of independent work, in which self-motivation is essential. The extensive research required by the Amber Rhinehart project and the presentation of an academic report provide an Personal Project introduction to the rigor and skills required by the Diploma Programme Coordinator Extended Essay. During the course of the Personal Project, students choose a topic and develop a goal that connects that topic to an authentic, global context that has relevance and meaning beyond the project itself. This concept frames and guides the project and allows students to apply their knowledge, skills, and analysis to an issue that resonates in our complex, interconnected world."

Since I joined LCS in Grade 10 I have been a part of MUN. I joined without any experience nor knowledge. Now three years later, I am one of the few MUN veterans and have attended JoMUN 3 times. I still remember going as a Sophomore was incredible, the best decision I could have possibly made. I had 2 weeks of experience and sat in the middle of the General Assembly with 29 other delegates surrounding me. I remember shaking nervously as I had to approach the floor to make my points. This was my introduction to MUN. Fast forward 3 years I just attended my last conference in late September 2019 as a Senior. This time, in the most advanced council, still nervous but ready to begin debate. I will never forget the cold breeze in the morning before I enter my forum to begin debate, the hundreds of notes lying on my desk and the hunger for debate. Sadly, this last year has brought an end to my MUN journey here at LCS, definitely an unforgettable one. -Sebastian Englisch TRIM LINE TRIM LINE

In September 2019, 20 students and 2 LCS chaperones attended the 17th annual Johannesburg Model United Nations (JOMUN) conference in South Africa. Aside from the conference, which featured several schools from across the African continent, there were also a few days of cultural excursions which permitted LCS students to experience Johannesburg from a tourist perspective. Many of the LCS delegates were attending their first MUN conference in Johannesburg and it proved to be an invaluable learning opportunity for them. Much of what was learned was then applied at our own GHAMUN conference a few months later.

Being responsible for delegate and chair training for the 19/20 MUN team has been a privilege. I have been lucky to work with some extremely dedicated and motivated delegates and chairs who have accepted their large responsibilities and set an example for others to follow. At all conferences that we attended, I was particularly impressed by the many new delegates who joined our team this year and who exceeded expectations by using all challenges as opportunities for learning and improving.

The Village of Hope (VoH) Orphanage was started by Christians in the United States and Ghana in 1989. Its mission was to care for orphaned, abandoned, destitute, and needy children. Since its establishment, many poor, hungry, homeless, and hurting children have been cared for. It has two branches, one at Fetteh near Kasoa and the other at Ayawaso, Pokuase. Apart from providing nursery, primary, and junior high school education, VoH offers employable vocational skills like dressmaking, auto engineering, and fashion design to street children. At the Pokuase branch, they mainly deal with teenage street children who stay for about 2 years learning skills like dressmaking, auto engineering, hairdressing, leatherwork, and tailoring. LCS VoH club over the years has been engaged in teaching Math, English, and Art education. We share simple and easy ideas on how to learn these subjects. The children range between those with formal education to those who have never been to school. This school year we plan to continue to share ideas and establish possible CAS related joint projects.

Bolinas Academy is a local Ghanaian school that offers education for the children of Abelemkpe. This is an elementary school that is composed of about 60 children, all seeking a better future. The point of this CAS group is to better the school infrastructure, develop bonds with the children, and out of everything help 20 students every month, to spend 4 hours of joy. The team is composed of students of all high school ages, and boasts one of the most dynamic and willing groups of young leaders. This year, our objective was to paint the school wall, professionally, with sufficient plastering and long-lasting paint, so that students of that school could leave behind their legacy and play a role in what their facilities look like.

A novel coronavirus was first identified in China’s Hubei province. The disease it causes attacks the lungs and causes rapid onset of pneumonia in already immunocompromised patients.
The first coronavirus case outside of China was reported in Thailand. The illness rapidly spread across the globe, endangering mostly older adults and those with underlying and chronic health conditions, including lung disease, heart disease, and diabetes.
The World Health Organization (WHO) names the virus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) and the disease it causes COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019). Worldwide death toll is 1,107.

What a superb experience this year’s WAISAL Band was! Dr. Smart, our director, came from the University of Montana in the US, curious to explore West Africa and ready to share his rich musical knowledge with us. We had some easy music that we found we could play with such expression and feeling when we came together as a band of nearly 80 in Abuja! We also had some much more challenging music that pushed our limits, made us come together as an ensemble, supporting and helping each other despite the competitive edge that usually exists between WAISAL schools! We’re already looking forward to next year, when the 3rd Annual WAISAL Band comes together in Dakar, for yet another great experience making music together with our WAISAL peers! - Mr. Perry

I remember the day when mummy and duddy told 10-year-old Bryce that he will be moving to Ghana. Long story short, tears were involved. However, I’ve gone through an incredible journey filled with wonderful memories. I want to acknowledge those who really made my time at LCS worthwhile. First off, the lads: Seb, Dhruv, Sacha, Anthony, Georgio, and Sydo. So much banter between us, from Karaoke nights to origi’s at Jess, these are the times I’ll cherish forever. To Jess and “BB- Gusta”, it’s only you two who really understand my “different” type of humor. Much love to the both of you. Even though I’ll probably find another weird Australian girl or a girl that likes to splash in the water just as much as you in university, it's just not gonna be the same without you, Ebba and Marine. Although I act like I don’t like it, I’m actually going to miss you and your terrible dad jokes, Hannah! Chale my Bliggeris Señoris family, I’ve saved the best for last. I wish all of you the best and success in the future. Thank you LCS for my time here, I love you all!
TRIM LINE TRIM LINE
Thank you to all the students that helped me learn all my life lessons, thank you very much to the teachers, who always told me I could improve if I tried harder, Thank you to my friends who stuck by me through this emotional rollercoaster I call my life and most importantly to my parents for giving me this opportunity and believing in me. And to the graduating class of 2020, I want you all to know all the paths we took, all the decisions we made helped us realize who we are and what we want to be. So as the future generation we need to be conscious of social responsibilities, we need to fight for those who can't fight. Speak for those who can't speak and stand for those who can't walk, because when you make a difference in someone else's life, you are the star in that person's eyes. And you will achieve the success that only you can achieve without being second best. You have all achieved a lot more than you thought you could. Aim high. Dream big. Take risks. Don't be afraid of failure. ‘Once a lion, always a lion GBESE’. 90

After 3 years at LCS, this love-hate relationship has finally come to an end. Having been a planner, I’ve always had a set order of how things were supposed to happen in my life– even including the countless moves, Ghana was never part of it. However, moving here taught me that sometimes the best things in life occur unexpectedly, and even though it took me too long to realize that, I couldn’t be more thankful. To my parents, I will forever be indebted to you not only for this privileged life but for letting me be everything I’ve wanted to be. And to Karina, thank you for never questioning and always understanding exactly who that was. Nikki & Bailz, my children, leaving you behind will be the hardest. To the people who’ve made this Lincoln experience worthwhile; Anthony, Geo, Dhruv, Seb, Bryce, Bex, August, before this year is over I will make it a point to personally express how much you mean to me. Yaso, Mar & SZ, you guys make this place home. For 3 years, I’ve convinced myself I stayed an ISB Dragon, but it’s time to admit that I’m a Lincoln Lion too.
TRIM LINE TRIM LINE
Firstly, I would like to thank my family. Mum and dad, thank you for the unconditional love and support over the years. Without you, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Dada and dadima, thank you for everything. I will continue striving to make you all the proudest people ever. Yash, thank you for being my role model and my inspiration. I love you guys. Shivv and Krsna, good luck in high school. Make the most of these 4 years, you won’t ever get them back. Keep killing it! I also want to thank my friends. The boys: Sacha, Sebastian, Anthony, Georgio, Bryce, plenty of love for you guys. The memories have been incredible and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. YOU KNOW THE VIBES! Yaso, Marine, Jess, Augusta, Rebekka, you all have had a massive impact on me. Thank you for all the amazing memories - I hope we keep in touch. LCS has been sick but now we’re onto bigger and better things. Still we rise. DD out #L4NDO

I’m done! Wow who would’ve thought I would get this far, shoot not me. Jk dw. I went through a lot to get here and I’m grateful. Why do I feel like everyone in my grade has said this, lol. But I’m so glad to have had people in my life that were always there for me. I wouldn’t have got through it all without you, I’m not going to shout out names for clout, but y’all know who you are. Maybe just a little, for all the people that lent me a shoulder to cry on, lifted my spirits up when the were down, for the people that gave me hope to keep moving on, and who said "hi, how you doing?” even though I didn’t want to answer. Y’all, I don't even know the times I put on a fake smile just to get through the day, but to those people who helped me, this one's for you. Thank you all, I’m so blessed. Hate to say it but I’m actually going to miss this school. Love y'all, peace out- as my fellow hippies would say. Wait, one last thing, the plug… Hey people follow my insta @almighty.nya_

Although I am finally done with High School, it is sad to say goodbye to 8 years worth of memories. Regardless of all the staying up lates to finish artwork and other homework, I will definitely miss high school. Shout out to Amina and Teacup. I hate to admit it but I will miss how we shove each other every time we find something funny or let out shade. Ebba, my Aussie gal, you seriously need to learn how to spell and use proper English terms to describe stuff. Joetta, I still feel like we are both ending up in France and will still not know how to speak the language. Suszy, never forget “straight as a line.” Jeff, I think it’s officially a tradition to meet every summer in Leb. Serag and Tarik, I don’t think I would have fully enjoyed my high school years without you two. Lastly, I would like to thank my family: Lina and Taha, you have gone through so much with me that I don’t think I could have faced my challenges without your help. Mom and Dad, you both mean the world to me and have always been that anchor of support. 93

Out of all the assignments I had to write these last few years, I’d have to say that this paragraph seems like the hardest at this moment (not really but still hard lol). I don’t really know where to begin thanking people or summarizing my experience here at LCS. I am so thankful for my family, my teachers, and my friends for making it such an amazing experience that I will miss and remember forever. It’s been a blast. Wish I had enough words to thank everyone who’s been a part of the journey and made it so great! Since I don’t, I’ll be hunting you guys down individually and doing it then. Forever grateful Ghana, I’ll be back home soon <3

Looking back at the past two years at Lincoln it’s crazy to think how much this community and my friends here mean to me. Rebecca, Hannah, Ji Won, Elizabeth, Habiba, and Shonti, thanks for everything, you’re all incredible. Maya, Rebekka, Ebbs, and Téa (pathogen), thanks for all the jokes, you’re amazing and wonderful. Pablito, Victor, Kai, and Gabi, thanks for the laughs and fun times. Aniya, Sarah and Giulia, y’all are such jokes, these past two years would have been so boring without you and ilysm, thanks for the classes and parties and everything in between. Mimi, you a queeeeeeen, thanks for lifting the mood at every lunch. Gusta (peasant), ily and know you’ll do amazing things. IU, you absolute BEAST, never change and ilysm. Tasha, my OG, my heart, my #1 who’d have thought that we’d graduate together (what?!) ily with all my heart. To everyone in Kenya and Egypt, thank you for everything and I love and miss you so much. And finally, Semsem and Hanz, these past 18 years have been a rollercoaster, and I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, and I love you more than words can express. To Ghana, thank you and goodbye.

A part of the journey is the end. I am truly lucky to have experienced something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Thank you Ghana and LCS, I am glad to call you my home. I don’t know what’s next, but I do know that I am ready to move on, thanks to all those who have shaped and prepared me for this next step. I want to thank you Mamá and Papá for giving me everything, believing in me, and never doubting me. I will forever be grateful to have been blessed with your tremendous support. I promise I will make you proud. Christina, I will always be here to protect and support you. Make mum and dad proud, I’m sure you can do it. Hala, we’ve come a long way since September 2018, you have had an impact on me like no one else here at LCS, I will miss you. Thanks for the amazing memories. FUBAR, Javi, Tomás and Amir, thanks for being part of the best experiences I’ve had. Thomas, thanks for making me feel welcome since day one and remaining part of this journey until the end.

My objective, in these three years, was to develop from a student to an adult, from a pupil to a thinker, and this personal fulfilment would have never been possible without the very strong entourage that embellished this experience. My parents, the most devout and humble people I have ever met, and my greatest idols, merci du fond du coeur. Je sais très bien que c’est en travaillant dur que je vous fais le plus honneur, donc c’est exactement ce que je vais faire à l'université et dans ma vie professionnelle. Lise, my fabulous and brilliant sister. Nothing would have ever been possible without your love and your support. Je t’aime fort ma soeurette. Thomas, ensemble on a vecu beaucoup, et j’ai hate que ca continue. Merci mon vieux. Sarah, what a wonderful soul you are, and this experience wouldn't be a third of what it is without you. Augusta, Serag, Natasha, Kai, you are the most uplifting people anyone has ever met, and it’s been an honour to grow up with you. Mr Pamperin, you are my daily incarnation of a smile and Mr A, the true exemplification of what I want to become. 95

There were a lot of people along this journey that supported me or just ended up being a lesson. Shoutout to my friends for always being there for me and making the best out of every school day. (DISCLAIMER: IF YOUR NAME IS NOT MENTIONED, PLEASE DO NOT HUNT ME DOWN AND TRY TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD. I’M ALREADY OVER THE 200 WORD LIMIT. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT MENTIONED, I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN IF ALL YOU CAUSED IN MY LIFE WAS PROBLEMS). Joetta, thank you for all the fun nights and the readiness to fight anyone who hurts me (“SO ME A WHOLE ME. I’M NOT HIS FRIEND, I’M HIS SENIOR”). Téa, for the “dumb and dumber” duo. Sara, for hyping me up about anything I do. Ale, for being so slow sometimes that it hurts my brain. Sveta, although you are 8.992,2 km away, you have become family. My brothers, Jamil and Alex have taught me how to love unconditionally and how to be patient with someone who’s really annoying. I would also like to thank my mom (my number one bestie) and my dad (my number one fan), who have supported me my whole life and had my back through every obstacle I had to go through in life.

The past years have been a learning experience. Good and bad times, it’s the nature of life, but those bad times will bring out a stronger, and a better version of yourself once they come to pass. They are yet to pass, hopefully. I have met some great people in my high school life, people that I would never forget, and people that I will always have by my side 24/7 365. I am looking forward to what is to come, the future is ours, and I will tell my circle that we are the ones shaping it. DAY 1’SSS (Marine, Yasmina, Thomas). Thank you to my family for showing support that I could not have gotten anywhere else. If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn’t be who I am today. To my brothers, Jamil, Thomas, I love you guys, I love the fights, the laughs, the insults, and I hope to create more memories with you guys. Thank you to my friends and family for making these 18 years of the beginning of my life, years to remember.

I am writing this little piece of text so long before this yearbook comes out that I don’t think I’ll even remember writing this. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. High school has been a very turbulent experience for me, loaded with high highs, and low lows. I have been able to better myself and push myself every single day without fail, and it has made me a better person. Seeing all my peers and I undergo such massive change over such a small course of time really makes me realize how far we’ve come, and how far we have yet to go. The journey isn’t over. To Chris, I love you so much, and I’m gonna miss you. To Dhruv, stay slick, stay brown, and most of all, stay winning! Much love. To Seb, I have spent some good times with you, and you have been a very supportive friend to me. Cheers. To Anthony, you’re my friend and you always will be. I love you very much. Lastly, to anybody reading this: make friends! Go to parties! Have fun! You won’t ever get this time back, and don’t make yourself regret it.

I initially wrote something different for my page, but my parents felt it necessary to censor my creativity, and were all, “no hannah, you can’t put that in a yearbook.” wack. I figure I should conform to the social conventions of literally every person in this grade, and acknowledge my friends and family. Friends and family, consider yourselves acknowledged. I love you. Now, I’m gonna give some advice that no one asked for, and honestly, no one should probably take seriously since I’m 17. Do with my advice what you will. Take it. Ignore it. Disobey it. I can’t care. The best advice I can give at this moment is to find something that you’re passionate about and pursue it. And whatever it is, be genuine about it. Don’t be passionate about it because the media or parents or teachers tell you to. Think for yourself. The world needs more genuine, passionate, and reflective people. They’re a dying breed. This next part is for those who still have to survive high school. Remember to TAKE IT EASY, MAN. IB is gonna make you stress and panic over assignments that’ll have little to no real-world value the day after graduation. Chill. Live. Rest when you have to. Peace. 97

It’s been awesome being a part of this community. Being the new kid was tough, but you made fitting-in the last thing on my checklist. It’s been two years since then and despite all the snakes, most of you stayed close and are making the rest of my days here memorable. Mistakes were made, arguments ensued, fights were fought, but we stood together regardless and made it through the years, technically just a year and a half...give or take a few days. I’ll remember Lincoln for many reasons and the food isn’t one of ‘em. Lincoln gave me life-long friends, taught me character, and, coming from a school filled with just guys, this is a heck of an upgrade, if you get my drift. I appreciate all the teachers, specifically mine, for guiding me through the IB DP Program. Without their encouragement and persistence, I definitely would have made it this far...but it just wouldn’t have been as smooth of a ride as it was. All formalities aside, I appreciate all who made me happy and those who’ve just been an annoyance since the beginning. I’ll miss you guys, mostly the girls, and indeed “it feels great to be a lion.”

My time at LCS had been a memorable experience. Over time, I learned a lot of things about myself as well. I have participated in so many events and activities that were unforgettable. I would like to thank all of my friends, and I will certainly miss every single one of them. They made me laugh, cry, and smile, and their faces and bad jokes will be something I will miss most in the world. I am glad that I sacrificed my sweat and tears with them throughout my high school years. I would also like to thank all of my teachers for the guidance they have provided me. Although I doubt that I will explicitly remember all of the content I learned in class, I will always remember the learning experience that I shared with my classmates. Last of all, I would like to thank my parents (and my brother) for the endless amount of support and love. They were the people who truly believed in me. To all the future seniors and everyone who is in high school: Good luck! Things may seem difficult, but I promise that every moment will be worth it. GOODBYE! 99

The few years spent in Lincoln taught me lifelong lessons. It taught me to rise up 10 times harder, whenever I was knocked down, and it was surely worth it. It also taught me that, ‘believing in yourself is not only a key factor to success in your education but in all other endeavours’. Lastly, as #Divicando says, trust the process. Failures and successes are a major part of the process, because it is in that process that you discover your numerous capabilities and strengthen yourself for greater challenges ahead.

The time flows very fast, faster than I imagined. Many of my dreams came true and by the time I had new ones that I am planning to be a real. I can remember the first time when I rode an airplane, which was the first dream to come true. One lesson that I learned from my short journey is dream big but be realistic. I am going to learn more lessons, however at this point I want to thank every person that lead me to who I am now. Living two years in Ghana gave me a chance to discover the culture and people. Before, Ghana was just a country on the map that never came to mind but now it is a great experience. I really love the Ghanaian textile colors and how nice the people are. Studying two years in Lincoln Community school added a lot to my experiences and personality. I had great and supportive friends, I had a surprise party for my 18 birthday and more and more that can not be counted on two hands. After two years here, and many other years I am finally graduating high school. I am excited to know what will happen next.

Two-hundred words just are not enough to show my gratitude towards each and every one of you individually. However, I hope that each of you knows who you are and that I truly appreciate all that you have done for me. Even from my first few days in Lincoln, I felt how accepting and supportive the community was. The group of friends I made only made this more apparent. There was always one of them there willing to help me in any way. Without any of this, I feel as if I would have hardly been able to go through with high school. In the end, however, I made it. All the late nights, exams, and stress filled weeks were made worth it by the constant positivity I received from all the people close to me.

I have read many stories, and now I am writing my own. As you read my story, may it inspire yours. If you have any dream or goal: to go for the IMO, to make a hit music album, to win any Waisal competition, or whatever it may be, your journey begins now. If you have any weird character trait: a hilarious laugh, a special body part, shyness towards females, or whatever it may be, embrace it; that is what makes you unique. Most importantly, enjoy every moment you live as they fade away. You never know you are in the good old days until you have actually left them. Many thanks to the Almighty God, He has been so good. To my parents, I say thanks for the unconditional love and encouragement. To the teaching and non-teaching staff who had an impact on my life, I appreciate your support. I am grateful to all my friends for welcoming me to this beautiful family we call LCS. I find it astonishing how time gradually brings us closer and closer.

Dear friends and family, I somehow did it. I thank you for this breathtaking journey you’ve allowed me to partake in. I would firstly like to thank my mom, dad, brother, and sister for constantly supporting me in school and in my personal life, I would not have made it this far without you guys. I would also like to thank my friends I have made throughout LCS, especially Anthony for constantly helping me pass all my classes. Free Gurbaksh. Shoutout to Mr. Mensah for being more than a teacher and an actual person to talk to.

When I arrived in Ghana and started seventh grade at LCS, I knew I had many years and adventures ahead of me in my epic middle school and high school experience. Now, this wild era of glory, stress, joy, fantasticness, and everything else is coming to an end and I’m sad to be graduating (fingers crossed), meaning I have to leave this beautiful place and these beautiful people. However, I still look in wonder towards the future the same way I did six years ago. Ghana has been a place I have truly grown up in and it will always be in my heart, as will the people I have met and enjoyed these years with. To my Mom, Dad, and Bro (and dog Max), I love you guys! I can’t describe how much support, freedom, love, encouragement, etc. etc. etc. you guys have always given me, so thanks I guess. To my teachers, you all have had a huge impact on me and I sincerely thank you. Thank you to the class of 2020! I am so grateful for my friends and for the times and the laughs I have shared with all of you. You have been a part of making Ghana a home for me and I will miss you! 107

Firstly, I’d like to thank Billie Eilish for her music. Here’s to my unpredictable sleep schedule, and the fact that I thought I knew how the concept of time works--who really does? I’ve spent a long and eventful 7 years here at LCS, but somehow it feels like the IB just sped by-- no it was not fun. It’s finally time to move on to more exciting things. To everyone who has been there as support along my many high school adventures, thank you. Someone that really helped me through the IB was my brother, thank you for the advice and for tolerating my constant emails and messages about things you have happily left behind. Don’t worry you won’t be getting anymore and I hope to visit insa again soon. Sammy, good luck in HS it's gonna be a ride, and I hope you learn how to play games by yourself…don’t miss me too much. Andy, my boo, I can’t wait to reunite, thank you for staying in touch and giving me meaningful advice and love. Gabi thanks for believing in me. Cheers to me, for having surpassed my first milestone in life and for getting through so much.

When I first came to Lincoln I was a girl with an irrational dream and irrational fears to suffer bullying once again just like my past experiences, and I was so afraid of people and having relationships with them, but thanks to the beautiful community we are in, I found the amazing people that I am proud to call my friends. Natasha, for taking care of me since day one. Habiba, for taking pictures of me, which is a rarity. Lincoln helped me give an academic sense to my ideologies and I grew not only academically but especially as a person. I am facing a bad mental issue and I must thank my “sisters” for saving me, loving me and especially understanding even the weirdest aspects of me. I want to thank my beautiful family, not only for teaching me important lessons about life but also because of the incredible example that you are for me, which contributed to the idealization of my biggest dream. Thanks to all the people that love me because you are the reason why I rise up every time I fall, you are my strength and my ambitions. You are simply the most beautiful part of me. P.S. Alla mia migliore amica e sorella. Un grazie speciale sei la mia persona.

I find it almost impossible to identify with the version of myself who started Lincoln nearly four years ago. Much less confident and sure of myself than I am today, I remember feeling both excited and exhausted as I attempted to figure out my new life. This makes me even more grateful for the fact that I was welcomed so warmly by a group of people who I feel lucky to still call some of my closest friends. With your help, LCS to me quickly became inseparable from activities such as football, MUN, and many more. I feel incredibly happy to have built such special relationships and created unforgettable memories with every single one of you through these experiences. Sacha, Dhruv, Georgio, Sebastian, Anthony, and Serag, I want to thank you for all the happiness you spread, I really appreciate each one of you. Jess, Yaso, Mart, Mar, and August, there is no way that I can describe all of you at once. You are all such beautiful individuals and I’ve loved seeing you grow and succeed in your own ways, I can’t wait for more. Mor, Far, Obi, Jeje, tak!

I can’t believe it! I wanted to thank all of the people that have contributed to my high school life. It feels like just yesterday I was starting ninth grade, but here we are at the very end. I want to thank my family for supporting me through this time, and for always believing in me. I want to thank my friends for all the times we shared together. My time in high school has gone really fast, but I wouldn’t change a thing. I am excited for the years to come.

Special Mention - Yearbook cover Designer "My inspiration for the yearbook cover was the big mural on the elementary campus. Instead of copying the exact colors, I decided to make it colorful because each individual color represents the different people in the school, and how we all come together to create a beautiful community." - Roopali
