This is my first year of many years in “Every next level of your life demands a

this school, at least I hope so. It was a for the past 10 years and these past
four years in Middle School have been a
wild ride with ups and downs mostly roller coaster. Been
through so many good
ups but some deep and bad times over
these years. I have
downs, but overall so many memories in
this school, crazy, fun,
it was a great year weird, unexplainable

“Your memory is

is because of your amazing memory. You are a data-collecting

Once you put your mind to it, you can
achieve anything. Don’t listen to what
other people say and if they criticize
you just move ahead and ignore. You may
come across hardships and think you
are too dumb to keep going but always
remember that you matter.

When I first entered ISG Dammam, I was
petrified as I was a new student and
was just entering the school. However,
as it turns out, I was warmly embraced
by the amazing students, and kind
teachers who helped me
learn throughout my 8
years in this school. I
can’t thank those people
enough who helped me
grow from a shy and
timid girl to someone
who knows so much and
has improved in subjects
I never thought I would be good at. Thank you to everyone for the
joyful memories you have brought me.

single moment in Middle School, especially
in Grade 8. I felt like we are a family, we
work together, we do every-
thing together. It is really nice
to have a family at home and
also in school. Honestly, Middle
School changed me a lot. This
school taught me a lot, for ex-

is important. To sum it up, I would like to thank every

Dear teachers and students who are
reading this, you probably know that
I’m now out of Middle School and
studying for a better future which
would allow me to thank all the teach-
ers and my parents, who
stood next to me side by
side in any hard assign-
ment or struggle during
this year. Having friends
through all these years
might be a key to success,
but all my teachers had faith in my actions, which is
what would get you through this year.

I will always remember Middle School

because it’s where I grew up surround-

ed by amazing people and positivity.

I have been in this school for 8 years

and let me just say those 8 years were

the best ones so far.

ISG has not failed to

teach me everything

I need to know. It

taught me wherever

I go or whatever I do,

I put my whole heart into it

Middle School was quite a journey.

It seems like I’ve been stuck in this

period of time forever, and I can’t

wait to finally move on in life. In

my opinion, eighth

grade was the best

only because it

reminded me of the

fact that Middle
