Taking the World by Storm, One Country at a Time

By Farah Kashwa

Sarah El Sebakhy is the new face we all see around campus. Before she came to Schutz, she attended the American-British Academy (ABA) in Muscat, Oman. She lived in Qatar before moving to Oman. She really liked ABA and she also liked Oman. Sarah, at first, was afraid about coming to Schutz because she felt like everyone had their own friends already and she was also concerned about the American diploma. However, as the weeks went by, she got used to the system and made her own friends. Even though she misses her old school and friends, she believes that Schutz is a good way to end high school.

When it comes to Sarah’s hobbies, she has more than one. She likes taking photographs and watching movies and documentaries; especially documentaries on politics and history. She also likes to read books and chill with friends. Her favorite author is Jodie Picoult.

Sarah is fairly sure about her future. She wants to attend the American University in Cairo (AUC) and she wants to major in International Relations and Modern History. She wants to attend AUC for about two years and then transfer abroad to the United States or Europe. For Sarah, thinking 10 years down the road is a little too far but she wants to have seen a lot of places and wants to have earned her bachelor’s degree and maybe even master’s. Although she wants to get a good job in a big, busy city, she excludes Cairo and New York City.

Sarah has a lot of talents. She speaks three languages fluently, she is currently learning Spanish, and she would like to touch up on her French. One of the most memorable moments in Sarah’s life was when she won 3rd place in one of the categories for a photography competition in a famous travel magazine in Oman called Oman2day.

Sarah’s family is very supportive of her. Although they give her advice and try to lead her to making the right decision, she makes the final decisions herself. According to Sarah, they are always there to back her up. Sarah wants to have a broad knowledge about everything, just like her dad. She says that her dad reads a lot and someday she wants to read as much as he does. One of Sarah’s family supporters includes her sister, Farah, who is currently enrolled at British School of Alexandria.

Although she is a shy person, she is a very open person once you get to know her. So let’s give Sarah a big Schutz welcome. Sarah, welcome to the family!
