Mohamed Seif’s Journey Through School Helped Establish His Masculinity
By Ingy Fahmy
Mohamed Seif, more widely known as Aboody, came to Schutz seven years ago as a timid, introverted sixth grader. He recalls his first day, “I went into class and I was sitting next to Tias. Noureen was supposed to sit next to me as well, but she was still in Spain. It was later time for recess, and a few boys called me over to play tetherball and I hung out for a while with them then pulled myself away. I remember being extremely shy at the time”. It was not until a few years later that Mohamed started converting his character and transforming his personality into one that you no longer overlooked as you sat with the different boys in his class. Mohamed established himself as one of the most recognizable students in the senior class.
Mohamed plans to attend American University in Cairo (AUC) to specialize and major in Engineering. He plans to pursue a graduate degree after acquiring his undergraduate one. Mohamed envisions himself in the future, as a well-respected, established working man among the elites of the country. He will be joining his family’s business, where he wants to be working side-by-side with his father. Parallel to that, Mohamed wants to be raising his own family and raising them with the morals that he was brought up with during his own childhood.
Mohamed is one of those people who really concentrate at what he has at hand; he makes sure that his work is done on time and in high quality. However, he does admit that he tends to cram and wait until the last moment to do the required work. Despite that, Mohamed leaves no room for anyone to argue that he truly is a hard worker. Amongst his friends, Mohamed is described to be the tall, loud, kind, and hyper guy who is always guaranteed to be a smile on your face.
Reminiscing on his days at Schutz, Mohamed will always cherish the precious moments he has spent here during his adolescent years. In particular, he tends to take pleasure in the Dr. Atef was a substitute for his Algebra class; Mohamed claims that time to be full of laughter and happiness. Mohamed will sincerely miss Schutz’s friendly and secure environment. He explains that in previous schools he never correctly felt at home till he became acclaimed in the Schutz family.
Mohamed would like to end his days at Schutz by thanking it for everything it has harbored in him for the rest of his life. In particular, Mohamed explains, “Schutz has embedded in me the most important lesson of all time: You only achieve success through hard work and commitment”. Mohamed would also like to thank Dr. Tony Spencer, the former Head of School, for helping him become the man he is today. He explains that Dr. Spencer is the person who saved him for going down a path that would have lead him to places he would later regret. Finally, Mohamed would like to extend the best of luck to the junior class and tells them, “Work hard, you only have one more year to go. Enjoy it…”
