From a chubby freshman with a squeaky voice, to the biggest senior on campus, Mahmoud Ben Halim has changed 180 degrees throughout his four years in high-school. In his early years, everyone used to pick on Mahmoud and he was determined to put an end to that. Now, Mahmoud can bench-press over 110 pounds!
Mahmoud is one of those classic few Schutz students who has been in this school for all his life. Being in Schutz taught Mahmoud that actions have consequences, and things that don’t affect you now may affect you in the future. Over time, Mahmoud has also learned that force is not the only means to get what you want.
After graduating, Mahmoud hopes to study Finance abroad or at the American University in Cairo, depending on his grades and SAT score. After college, Mahmoud plans to get a Master’s degree in Business Administration, then he intends to go into the family business, which is situated in Spain.
Ten years from now, Mahmoud sees himself as a “big” investor and businessman with businesses operating in and outside of Egypt. In addition to being a successful businessman, Mahmoud also plans to take a job at Gold’s Gym so he can maintain his striking appearance. Ben Halim’s strong points are his patience and determination, but he constantly has trouble controlling his anger, which has got him into a lot of trouble over the years. One thing that no one tends to realize about Mahmoud is that he has a very peaceful and calm side to his personality. 
When asked, Mahmoud said that the three phrases that best describe him are, “big and bulky, kind-hearted, and open-minded.” Mahmoud refers to his father as his role model because as the years go by, he is learning that everything his father taught him turned out to be true. Today, you will see Mahmoud trying to cherish every moment of his senior year as he will truly miss Schutz and all of the memories that come with it especially Mr. Rab’s English classes that were full of fun, advice, and wisdom.
Mahmoud will really miss fooling around with his friends at school and picking on the younger kids, but one thing he is glad to be leaving behind is Massimo’s office. Before leaving, Mahmoud would like to advise the Junior class to “take responsibility for their actions” as he is famous for taking the blame for all of the senior class’s problems.
