“We do our very best, but sometimes it’s just not good enough. We buckle our seat belts, we wear a helmet, and we stick to the lighted paths. We try to be safe, we try so hard to protect ourselves, but it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference. When the bad things come, they come out of nowhere. The bad things come suddenly without warning, but we forget that sometimes.. that’s how the good things come too.”

You’re lucky you get to take some of your exams early, I’ve got to take them all in my senior year. :(

Lol, except for the fact that I’m not taking anything early.. I am in my senior year. Good luck to you though!

As happy as I am to be done with two of my HLs, I really wish I could have ended my Literature Paper 2 on a better note :(

How is it even logical for the IBO to give us 5 papers within the span of two days?

I had my last day of school ever today and I don’t really know how to feel. Class of 2013, thank you for the greatest experience of my life.

Here’s my farewell speech:

Good afternoon everyone,

So we’ve finally made it. We’ve reached the end of a journey we each began 14 years ago. I know for a long time now, we’ve all been counting down the days until today, waiting to pursue our dreams of becoming doctors, writers or even astronauts, waiting to grow up and finally leave our mark on the world … but no matter how far our imagination took us, I don’t think we ever thought about how it would feel to say goodbye to one of the biggest chapters of our lives.

We’ve always been told that graduation meant leaving behind everything that was familiar to us and instead we would have to embark into this seemingly large and terrifying world, ready to truly “experience life”… but the truth is, our experiences of life could not have been any more real than they are today.

From forming friendships with the most unlikely of people, and growing apart from the people we thought we’d know forever, laughing until it hurts or just crying from the sheer pressure of the IB, first loves, heartbreaks, our endless philosophical debates during TOK or spending more time worrying about impending deadlines than actually trying to meet them… this school has witnessed it all.

And it’s true, over the past few years we’ve all made our share of mistakes… we’ve said things we wish we hadn’t and we’ve held ourselves back from doing the things we really wanted to… and we’ve all woken up in the morning with that feeling in the pit of our stomach of wanting nothing but to just do better… but none of that, none of it has ever amounted to anything.

So yeah, we’ve made mistakes, we’ve stumbled during our journey and occasionally fallen… but at the end of the day it’s these little things, the small obstacles in our paths that have allowed us to grow in a way that we’d never imagined and somewhere along the way, maybe even created the memories of a lifetime.

I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that leaving this place is going to be one of the most difficult things we’ve ever had to do but as we prepare for the future, its important to remember the people who helped us get here.

I’d like to thank first and foremost Miss Haider, for her never-ending support and constant encouragement. Words cannot even express how much love we all have for this woman who has inspired us all in so many ways. Ms. Arif, you’re going to be hard to forget… thank you for chasing us to the very ends of this school until every IA and EE was handed in, you’ve truly been a pleasure to be around. To Mr. Burgess, Ms. Exley, Ms. Singh and Mr. Burch, thank you for giving me the opportunity to represent our school, it really has been the greatest experience. To our teachers you have all undoubtedly been the guiding lights on our journey – you have shaped our lives without even realizing it. And finally, to the rest of the staff of EIS Jumeirah, you are the unsung heroes of this school and I sincerely thank all of you for helping this school run more smoothly.

Now, my beloved year group – I hope that every single one of you prepares well for the exams – this is it, we’ve reached the end… and beyond that, I hope you all continue to be the crazy dreamers that you are and never ever lose your will to learn… make every day an experience and I have no doubt that you will all someday achieve incredible things with your lives. Finally, as we each depart to different corners of the globe and embark on various paths, never forget, that at the end of the day EIS Jumeirah will always be here to welcome you home.

Thank you Class of 2013 for the most exciting experience - I love you all so very much

I just finished writing my “Class of ‘13” farewell speech. Tomorrow’s my last day of school ever… This feels surreal.

Can this just please be my head girl graduation speech? It is way too difficult for me to sum up how I feel about leaving school.
