Summer is HERE!

Guess who graduated!

I can’t believe I did it!   Years of patience and having to study the same subjects, over and over again, are finally gonna pay off.

I’m only gonna miss the last 3 years of school though, cause in those few years, I made so many memories with a bunch of crazy friends that I’ll NEVER forget.   I don’t think you’ll find girls being dragged around in corridors, and laughs that reach the moon anywhere other than in the American High School Diploma section at Riyadh Schools.

The girls, well they’re more like family.  They’re my best friends!  They’ve been there for me more than anyone else in the world!

My first day at Riyadh Schools, I remember thinking: “Here we go again! Another place I probably won’t fit in”, but I was so wrong!    I felt like I was finally where I needed to be, you know?  It’s just the people, the teachers, the principle.. They were AWESOME!   They appreciated me, and my originality. I didn’t have to hide who I was to fit in, because I swear to God, I don’t know if you’ll ever find another group of girls that are so different in every way, but completely inseparable!

I got to show my talents, and I got over my stage fright, all in the past 3 years.   It always felt like my opinions mattered, and that my voice was heard. I didn’t have to do much of an effort to be “Part of the Group”.  It just happened naturally..

The most hilarious people I have ever met would have to be Noura, Hala, Rawan, and Felwa!   Cutest quadro EVER!   And they’re the real definition of friends.

My best friend?  Lamees Al-khamees.  The person I look up to & admire always.  She’s been there for me in every situation possible, she got me through high school in one piece, and I love her!    What am I gonna do without you Chiqua?

Ugh!  So many memories that I would LOVE to share, but there’s just a numerous bunch of them! I really am gonna miss everyone!  I know there are some people I might never see again, but they need to know that they were a part of my life at some point, and that means a lot to me.
