The Man with the Plan

An Inside Look at Our Student Leader

Youssef Talaat

The first senior to apply for colleges, the first senior to take the SAT II, and the first senior to get a job; Aly El Attal always leads. Aly is a sensible risk-taker, who calculates his every move. As a nonconformist, Aly does not adapt well to routine systems, but he still greatly values customs and traditions. Aly may seem languid and relaxed, but in reality, when Aly has a goal in mind, he does everything in his power to achieve it.

Even though he has only been at Schutz for five years, Aly El Attal has become one of the trademarks of this school. His active participation in the student government has made him well known among his peers. Schutz has taught Aly that “there is more to life than just academics.” Over the years, Schutz has changed Aly into a well-rounded, cultured person who cooperates with students like him from all around the world. One of the most memorable moments Aly has had at Schutz was playing the tabla in the volleyball tournament and cheering for the falcons among other teams from all over the world. Aly will also miss the general feeling of care and consideration that is shared here at Schutz as well as seeing his friends and sister everyday in school. Aly would like to thank Schutz for making him into the person he is today and would like to tell everyone to “keep up the school spirit.” Before graduating, Aly would like to advise the junior class to “make the most out of high school, enjoy every bit of it, and never stop working because everything counts!”

After graduating from school, Aly aims to attend Columbia University to study Industrial Engineering; however, he has other options in New York, Boston, Chicago, and London. After university, Aly hopes to work in various companies around the world and eventually obtain a Master’s degree so that he can have the proper education and experience needed to take over his father’s business.

Aly believes that his parents, siblings, and friends have all helped mold him into the rare person he is today. One thing no one tends to realize about Aly is that he is incredibly organized and pays tremendous attention to detail in his work. Three words that best describe Aly are “loyal, hard-working, and unique.” Aly considers his father to be his role model because he is a cultured, hardworking, and successful individual.
