ISG DAMMAM HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK 2020

Miral MOODY
Hussein

Stepping into this school as a 3-year-old,
little did I know, I would spend the next 15
years here. Seeing people come and go
made me realize just how much it would
hurt me to not end up graduating from this
school with the people I semi-love. Thank
you to the teachers who would try and
help us not fail, you’re the only ones I’ll miss.
And to the teachers whom I slept in their
classes, nothing personal, but watching my
shows till 2 AM was sometimes a priority. The
ugly ones, our group chat will forever be re-
membered, with all our tears while studying
physics and our gossip that we couldn’t
wait to tell face to face. I’ve been blessed
to have ISG Dammam in my life and I can’t
imagine what I’ll do in the years to come.
Leopard pride will live on. And just so you
know, I didn’t hate you guys (at least not
most of you), that’s just my face. Love, y’all!

Still, my high school life was full of unforget-
table and enjoyable times. I can proudly
and confidently say it formed who I am:
clever, dreaming and sleeping (we can
talk about laziness but let’s be positive.).
I wouldn’t be able to accomplish this far
without the help of my precious friends,
supportive teachers, and caring parents.
Besides their encouragement, the fact
that I got to be with my people was such
an invaluable experience. But I don’t
want to stop here and cry because it
is over. Rather, I’m going to appreciate
it because it happened, just to take an-
other step towards my future.

HOMEBODY

TalaJomaa FRIDAY

EXTRA Thank you ISG Dammam for the unfor-
gettable years. I remember wanting to
graduate soon the year started, but now
as I’m writing this, I take my words back.
This year passed by so quickly and I wish
I could cherish these moments again.
Thanks mom and dad for your constant
support during this journey. And a spe-
cial thanks to all the teachers that sup-
ported me and gave me good grades.
Shoutout to all the real ones that made
high school bearable when I had zero
motivation to come to school. ISG Dam-
mam, you’ll be missed. And 2020 grad-
uates, good luck for the years ahead.

So far, I consider my senior year as the most remarkable
year in highschool. I was able to make many valuable
memories that will always have a place in my heart. In
spite of the fact that I faced a serious roadblock in
my life where I broke my foot and did surgery, I was still
able to attend school and hang out with the people
I really care about. Moreover, I really valued the peo-
ple around me and started believing in humanity once
again. Why? You ask. Because not only did my friends
and family show me love and care, but everywhere I go
in this world with this broken leg, people also showed
sympathy and offered help. Which I never expected at
all. It made me think more about people and try to un-
derstand their needs just the way people understood
mine. Above all, I was able to actually value health
and life in general. Such a gift is so valuable that you
never appreciate its existence until you lose it. Enough
about drawbacks, hopefully, I’ll be removing my cast
soon enough to enjoy the rest of my senior year, and
make memories with those I really care about. Such an
experience made me also consider how delightful the
school’s environment is, I missed it so much to the point
where I thought of it as my second home. So live your life
at that place I call home while you’re at it. Talk to peo-
ple you wish to talk to. Be kind and genuine to every
person you come across. Graduate from your second
home leaving a positive mark, a mark that could pos-
sibly inspire future generations that are yet to come.

my senior year. But Corona
really put the cherry on top.

When I think about my High School ex-
perience in ISG Dammam, it reminds me
of all the good memories I shared with
my friends which I will cherish my whole
life. The foundation laid by this institute,
its educators have developed my char-
acter both from tutoring and nurturing my
life-skills, it taught me to be ambitious. High
School to me seemed to pass really fast,
almost like a roller coaster ride. These four
years have been an overall life-chang-
ing experience that I can never forget.

I love my school’s lasagna and I’ll miss it
more than anyone. Heh, just joking. I will
miss my friends, teachers, and all those
people I’ve met in ISG Dammam. I’m hap-
py that I spent my whole life at this school.
BTW, to all those people who called me
Min, Kim, Minnie, Min Kim, Ching Ching
Bling Bling, Potato, Kamja: Min Kyung is
one whole name, not Min, not Kyung. I
just let y’all call me Min because you
didn’t know how to pronounce Kyung
and it’s easier :) Whoever is reading this,
that means you care about me and
miss me, which I do too! Thank you for
being my friend and making my life fun. I
love you all and I will miss you so much!

Just last year, moving to Saudi Arabia sound-
ed like a nightmare to me. I didn’t know at the
time how fortunate I would be to be able to
meet all of you and get a glimpse of your
unique and intricate personalities and learn
from you. Thank you for making me realize
that on top of how people interact with one
another, how people differ when it comes
to beliefs and views, at the end of the day,
what’s important to each and every human
being is important because they choose it
to be important to themselves and what they
choose is influenced by their surroundings.
I might change my idea of this in the future,
but what’s most important is how every day I
learn to be more open to different points of
view. I learned this all because of your pres-
ence. It inspired me to realize how diverse this
world is and how I’m lucky to be exposed to
it. Your way of thinking and culture is beau-
tiful and interesting, and it makes me want
to live so I can explore more of the world.

Next year we’ll be separated and
although it hasn’t been the most
pleasant year, we’ll miss our endless
conversations and laughter about
everything. Days, months and years
will pass until we’re only left with mem-
ories and our contact becomes
rare. One day we’ll look through our
pictures and smile with invisible tears
because our heart is touched with
the thought of it was them that I had
the best days of my life with (not all).
Thanks to everyone who tolerated
my morning mood. Love you glow up

The time has finally come, where I get to start
a new chapter in my life, which I will write on my
own. Looking back at the previous chapters of
my life, high school by far, has been the longest
one. Full of tears and smiles, full of editing mis-
takes I have done, full of meeting new people
that I will forever cherish, and full of bricks where
I got to build myself as a person. These past
three years have structured me into a person
that knows her goals and knows her limits. High
school taught me to work harder, and pushed
me to work beyond what I thought was my
strength. This chapter was where I was finally
able to put down names of strangers that filled
my pages with color, my teachers, my relatives,
my friends, and my family. There are many new
people that I met who I will always remember,
(shout out goes to Hiba El-Chafie). Now is the
time to grab my pencil, and start writing, with the
eraser in my hand, knowing I’ll write mistakes, I am
prepared and ready to face the real world.

Someday I will come back to this page and
look back on all the memories I made be-
hind all these words. I might not have enjoyed
any day of high school until I realized that
after a few months I won’t see the faces of
people that were beside me in my ups and
downs. We might have not enjoyed having
all teachers decide on giving assignments
and projects at the same time and being
the cause of our mental breakdowns, but
we must have appreciated all the good
times we spent gossiping around and hav-
ing good talks. My journey in this school is an
unforgettable one, and it taught me many
things that I can hold onto for the rest of my
life. Thank you to all teachers who actually
understood that grades aren’t the ones that
make me pass. I can’t forget my family who
has supported and encouraged me all the
way to this point. Soo much loves to the ugly
ones and thanks bros for tolerating my mood

8 years... I have been here in this school for 8
years and let me tell you the experience was
not pleasant. All jokes aside, It gave me the
chance to meet my closest friends. From pulling
all-nighters with my friends and going to the
test half-awake, to cruising in the late nights
to Artist 2.0 and Hoodie SZN. I could say this
experience had changed me as a person and
definitely gave me more patience. The stress
I had undergone definitely got me ready for
university even though I did not like any second
of it. Some days I could cope with and others
I wanted to throw the books in a shredder. I
am proud of all the academic and athletic
achievements I have achieved with the school.
The experience I would say was okay after all.
Soon a new chapter of my life starts and words
of advice for those who haven’t graduated yet,
don’t worry it gets better. Thank you batch of
2020 it was fun while it lasted!

After 13 years of asking teachers can
I go to the bathroom. I can finally go
on my own. I will truly miss the times
where I would sit in class and wonder
what life would be like in the future. Now
that the time has come. I am truly excit-
ed to use the skills that I learned. High
school taught me a lot of skills like mul-
titasking, independence, time manage-
ment. The list goes on. I am truly happy
to say that high school is finally done
and I can’t imagine what will happen
after school. Yes, I will definitely miss the
classes and my classmates. I will truly
remember the times that I had in class
and school in general. I can’t imagine
going to college, time surely does fly.

Throughout my 9 years in ISG Dammam,
I can finally come to the conclusion that
school is definitely a rollercoaster experi-
ence. One must have the courage and
willpower to push through all the hard
times, but also make the most out of the
happiest of moments that will surely be
there on the journey. I’ll take with me, the
knowledge, the many lessons I learned,
the countless memories with friends that
have been made to last (pamplemousse,
here’s to you!), the hallways of laughter,
and the many tears shed. School taught
me to never dwell on the little things and
never have regrets. It taught me to take
risks and to live my best life. Because,
after all, go big or go home am I right?

YasminZahra

Someday in February 2012, I started my first DYNAMIC
day of school when my parents dropped me
off at the elementary building, in front of the
4C classroom, telling me, “God bless and stay
strong.” From spelling awesome as “owssom”
because I didn’t know English to organizing
a TEDx event, ISG Dammam watched me
grow. Soon, it will watch me leave. To all the
teachers that cared for me and all my friends
that appreciated me (Yasmin’s inner circle),
you made me happy and I will never forget
you. Some of us might feel lost right now, myself
included, but my favorite leader once said,
“When you don’t know where to go, the best
way is to walk down the road you’ve been
walking on.” On June 5, 2020, I will end my last
day in the school with me, in my graduation
gown and tilted cap, holding my diploma and
telling my parents, “Thank you for the blessings
and strength.”

High School was an experience unlike
any other. You can’t wait for this ex-
perience to come to an end, until it
actually does. You’re left regretting not
cherishing every single moment of it. That
wasn’t my case as I honestly am really
glad it all came to an end. Hated every
moment of it. 100% wouldn’t recommend
going through it all. Shoutout Dad.
Shoutout Mom. Shoutout Beace Boys,
love y’all. Nobody really likes us except
for us. Yeah, all I ever needed was the
squad so that’s what’s up. We out.

After twelve years of experience, including

four years of high school, I have learned many

things in my life. When I will step soon to the

outer world, where my college and after-col-

lege years are there, I will apply all that I have

learned in the 12-15 years of school. The most

important thing I have learned from my twelve

year experience of school is to become inde-

pendent. Since I have known how to do al-

most everything alone, without dependence

or reliance on anybody. An example to one

of the things I have mastered in doing it inde-

pendently is doing projects, since some proj-

ects are group-working projects and some

others are individual-work projects, which

helps us in depending more on ourselves. In

addition, I have become more organised and

responsible, since I knew how to manage my

time and deal with stress/time management,

which is going to be beneficial for us when we

go to college. INDEPENDENT

you’ve grown up alongside and made
unforgettable memories with. My years
in ISG will forever be remembered, as
they were some of the best years and
helped shape me into the person I am

for giving me this opportunity and for
believing in me when no one else did,
as well as a huge shout out to the

I remember walking into this school 13 years
ago, in kindergarten, and crying, not want-
ing to leave my parent’s side. I have lived
most of my life here, and it has become my
second home. I spent 6 days a week in this
place, and although I got tired of it and
felt like leaving most of the time, I know that
the minute I do, I would bawl my eyes out.
Thank you to my parents, who have en-
couraged me throughout my entire life, and
helped me achieve my dreams. Thank you
to my siblings, for always helping me and not
letting me give up. Thank you to my friends,
who have been with me through all the ups
and downs, and for bringing me up when
I’m down. I can’t believe that this is the end,
but once a leopard, always a leopard.

Knowing that people mainly look at their
yearbooks to browse through pictures of
their young highschool years, here I am,
typing away my senior message even
though it’s quite obvious no one would
read past my name. I still remember the
very first day I walked into ISG Dammam,
hoping the years pass by, impatiently
waiting till I graduate and leave. I only
now come to realize how much I really
want to stay. Because of the memories
I’ve built here, playing Volleyball and
Badminton, representing our school,
leaving ISG Dammam won’t be as easy
as I thought it would be. Although it
may seem sad that my highschool days

Highschool would probably be one of those times
where I would actually miss. Yes I’m happy I’m finally leav-
ing, but there are things which I would miss during these
years. There is so much to say, so I’ll say part of the story.
One of the things that I’ll miss is the people, the environ-
ment where people are so supportive of each other. The
other thing I’ll miss is the overall situation and feeling, the
atmosphere, that the school provides. Highschool also
opens your eyes and mind to things like nothing before.
You learn to meet other people of different cultures, of
different regions of the world, and most importantly, you
learn how to tolerate differences in them and get to-
gether. It’s a place where you are free to express your
feelings and there would always be someone to hear
you out. All in all, thank you to everyone who has been
with me, through the good and bad. Thank you to my
friends, even though you guys are a little special in a
way, I appreciate that. Thank you to the teachers for
helping me out throughout the years. And thank you to
you, whoever’s reading this. If you made it this far that
means you probably are interested in hearing me out,
so thank you for that. Well, this is it. We’ll all be going
different directions from now on. I have a feeling I’d miss
high school a lot. Yes, I probably will.

As challenging as highschool could be, a big-
ger challenge will always await me. A great phi-
losopher once said, “A journey of a thousand
miles starts with a single step”. From the start of a
new school year, I always waited for the week-
end and crossed out the days until the very last.
Waiting for time to run out, I couldn’t help but
notice that I was the one who spent my days
yearning for a better tomorrow. Unfortunately,
time does fly and so does the years of silly youth.
I learned quite a lot from my peers as well as
teachers. I’m thankful to those who raised me to
become who I am today. From the days I spent
as an all-nighter to the days I worried about pet-
ty things, I knew that people supported me even
when I didn’t. Reflecting on past memories, there
hasn’t been a day that I haven’t learned some-
thing new. Nevertheless, my journey hasn’t be-
gun yet. I’ve got more to learn and more to see.

The last four years in ISG Dammam have
been full of adventures and wisdom. In
this period of time, I have experienced a
lot of new things and developed many
friendships. I can proudly say that I have
spent one of the golden times in ISG
Dammam highschool. From school trips to
sports tournaments, to dancing, to what
not. Cheers to all those years of playing
football during lunchtime; it was all about
the game back in the days. Cheers to all
those hours spent in the VP office, laugh-
ing and cherishing every moment. These 4
years passed in a blink, after all, time flies.
This experience was only the prologue
of a book called, ‘Life.” We’re all going
to miss the golden times that were spent
here. No matter how much we hate wak-
ing up early for school, doing all the as-
signments; we’ll always miss it after leaving.

It was a time well spent. In school, I mean.
From tears of frustration that rolled down
my face, to the tears of laughter that
rolled down immediately after. I know I
had my days where I absolutely hated
every second of this school, but all was
justified when I would almost immediately
have days where I would wish for school to
never end. From having the best teachers,
to also the best mentors, friends, and ac-
quaintances. There are those that made
an impact on my life, there are those that
stood beside me through everything I
went through, and to them I say, Thank you.
Their support, love, and patience got me
to where I am today. It’s safe to say that
ISG Dammam gave me everything I ever
needed. I was exposed to so many new
and distinct opportunities and platforms.

Being sad to leave, doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t go. My time in ISG Dammam has
been short compared to others within
my class, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t
hate life. I still did, they just made it a bit
more bearable. Going from school to
school wasn’t easy and I never felt like I
fit in, but here I really let my wild side out
and no one judged me (I’m joking they
did but I’m trying to be nice here). My
time in ISG Dammam has been filled with
highs and lows but guess what, I made
it! Shout out to my homeboys Isra, and

but I luh you. I would also like to thank

The thirteen years journey has come to an unex-

12 years of education, and yet we reached a
point where we weren’t even sure if we’ll have
our senior prom and graduation. Well, while it
lasted, the time spent in high school was full of
twists and turns. I can with utmost certainty say,
the journey ahead won’t be any easier. The big
difference however, would be the company, the
elite, ISG Boys, along with all ‘normal’ friends,
helped make this journey bearable. Of course,
a huge thanks to our teachers that gave us the
education and never failed to put a smile on
our face. The same smile that is destined to last
for years to come. Wonder why no one talked
about their university? Mhm, because we were
forced to submit this early, so none of us even
knew which university we’re going to or what the
store holds for us. With our extremely long virtu-
al school, one thing I’ve learnt for sure is that I
tend to correct autocorrect, more than autocor-
rect corrects me. At this point, just let the caps
fly and the celebrations begin, LOVE YOU ALL!!

High school isn’t what you call nice, it
was quite the experience. It had its ups
and downs. Yall killed me for good,
you really get to know who your friends
are. Shout out to Abdoo for keeping
it real all those years. I’ve learned that
the best way to deal with everything
is to like either sleep or let someone
else do it for you. But no really, the
only person you can rely on is yourself,
No one really cares about you more
than yourself. Not everything was bad
though. You get to make your final mem-
ories with the people you love most.

After living my entire life in Saudi CHIHUAHUA
Arabia, there’s only one thought
that comes to my mind “let me es-
cape this prison.” As much as I hate
to admit though, I will definitely miss
this place, and most importantly,
ISG Dammam. I was able to meet
such important people who have
shaped me in the best ways pos-
sible and given me the best mem-
ories possible. They made what
I considered a prison, bearable.
Even though I struggled every day
with other worries, they were able
to put a smile on my face every
day. I guess I could say they made
my day amazing, great, fantastic.

It is about that time, in which I and my fellow
classmates go from being kids to adults. It
feels like it was just yesterday that we were
playing in the school park, yet nowadays
we are always busy studying with a book
under our nose. This is a happy, yet sad
occasion, one of our biggest stages of
youth has come to an end, a part of our
lives that we will never see again as it is
now time for us to become more responsi-
ble and pave our path in our dream ca-
reers. When I see my future self walking down
the grad stage, I know I will get a series of
flashbacks, good ones, and bad ones, but
however I will still walk up the stage with a
smile on my face as I get my name called
out to go get my diploma. At last, it is time
for me to move on to my next stage in life.

Good morning honorable judges, fellow debaters, CONSCIENTIOUS
and worthy opposition… The speaker is thrilled to
share this message with future generations and is hop-
ing that they don’t cringe at this. First I would like to
thank everyone who bared with me throughout high-
school from my parents, to teachers, to siblings, to my
friends (my happy little beans ;)). Special apprecia-
tion goes out to my parents for standing by my side
through my nervous breakdowns and never giving up
on me. Throughout highschool I have learned a lot
of vital lessons, but the most important lesson of all is
to never let go of who you are as a person. People
in highschool will try to bring out the worst in you in
order to show themselves as the best, but you should
never let them succeed in their goal. I learned this
lesson in highschool; however, I will carry this lesson
throughout my lifetime. Another advice I would like
to give to the readers of this passage is to take risks
and take hold of the opportunities you get because
no one is there to hand you those chances. For me
this is just the beginning, and I know that Allah has
planned a destiny for me that is the best. I am excit-
ed for my new journey and I hope to do the best for
mankind and its environment. Till next time, Ma Salama!

I honestly never thought this yearbook would end.
But after months of hard work, we are finally done.
Even with the situation that is happening, we man-
aged to get our work done. I couldn’t ask for a bet-
ter team. We had the best memories in class with all
Isra’s noisy music, Farah being paranoid about what
to do, Ahlam being calm as always, and Magdy an-
noying Isra 24/7. As months go by I saw the team
improve in their own way in class and I never
thought they would ngl. Being only a team of 6 was
hard but we still did it. I am so proud of the team
and I just wanna say thank you for not giving up for
real and really trying your best. Thankyou to Mrs.
Shabija for pushing me and seeing potential in my work
We may not had our senior year the way we wanted
it to be and make memories as we said we would but

this yearbook will be our memory.

A great high school experience is something that every-
one looks forward to, and the yearbook is the embodi-
ment of these collective memories that we shall cherish
for many years to come. The excitement of holding a
book with all our memories of the school year, is a feel-
ing like no other. To deliver that feeling and satisfy our
schools expectations, we started working on this book.
As a team that stayed together through all highs and
lows. We did not even let the pandemic stop us from de-
livering our best. We would like to specially thank our
chief Graphic designer Jasmin Olaño for doing a great
job and working endless hours to finish this book. No
matter how many pages we sent her way, she proved her
excellence by always completing it on time and going be-
yond our expectations. Under her we had Isra Arshad,
Farah Shtawy, Ahlam AlHanbali and Mustafa Magdy
who helped her immensely. The correcting of grammat-
ical and spelling errors to pouring their heart and mind
in making something unique, we thank you all.
