Officially Dismissing the Senior Class
Youssef Talaat
Commencement is often misinterpreted by many to mean the ending of a journey, but commencement is only the beginning. Upon graduating, the 2009 senior class will end their high school careers and embark on a tough, long journey full of freedom and responsibility. To be honest, it is sometimes difficult for students to leave the comfort and familiarity of their own 
homes to discover the new world that is college. College life is significantly different than life at home; parents are no longer around to remind us of our duties and responsibilities and the people we have grown with are no longer there to assist and support us. However, the true personality of people is further developed through the college experience. The truth is, Schutz’s seniors are armed with education, the most powerful weapon of all, and are ready to face whatever challenges await them.

College life is significantly different than life at home; parents are no longer around to remind us of our duties and responsibilities and the people we have grown with are no longer there to assist and support us. However, the true personality of people is further developed through the college experience. The truth is, Schutz’s seniors are armed with education, the most powerful weapon of all, and are ready to face whatever challenges await them. The class of 2009 has been a team since day one. They always acted as one and have always supported one another. Many seniors recall their senior trip to Budapest as one of their most memorable moments in high school as it made them realize the true value of their friendship and camaraderie. Their graduation ceremony, which will be held on June 18, 2009 at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, will be a very emotional period for many of them. Mixed emotions of both joy and sorrow will be exchanged as students leave high school to embark on an unfamiliar journey.
This year’s graduating class will be truly missed next year. Aya Kordy, a junior at Schutz, expressed, “They’re the class I cherish the most, and they are definitely the people I will miss most next year.” Massimo Laterza, Dean of Students, described the class as being “small in number, but diverse in temperament and attitudes.” The class of 2009 will be attending universities such as the American University in Cairo, Babson College, Boston University, McGill University, and Rajagiri School of Engineering. The Schutz community wishes the departing seniors luck in their upcoming journey and has high hopes for their achievements in the future.
