The Quiet Girl With the Strategies
By Hanna El-Amrawi
You probably have heard many people say “First impressions are not always correct”, well that is definitely the case with Farah Kashwa. You see, when you first meet Farah you get a sense that she is a shy, timid girl. However, once you get to know her and start to open up a discussion with her, you will realize that she is actually everything but quiet. If you really want to test my theory, just bring up the name Cristiano Ronaldo! You better be prepared though because once you start on this topic there is no going back. You will have Farah describing everything from his looks to his soccer moves. When it comes to soccer, this senior knows what she is talking about.
Born on September 12, 1992 in Alexandria, Farah has always had a deep passion for soccer. Growing up she was different from the typical pony tailed girls. While those girls go around shopping for clothes, you would see Farah on the field playing her favorite sport with the boys. “Since I was not a girlie girl, I always felt like I had more in common with the guys”. Not just at school, but at home Farah can be caught passing the ball around with her two younger brothers, Ahmed and Mamdouh. “Just like soccer players form strategies against their opponents, my two brothers and I form alliances against our parents”, stated Farah.
As you can tell Farah is very close to her two younger brothers. “I love them to death and I can’t imagine living without them”. Farah is the typical family girl. She often prefers to stay home and have movie nights with her family rather than going out. Farah’s family is a big part of her life, and that is why she is struggling between going abroad for university or staying here close to home. Farah has applied to many respected universities including New York University (NYU), Northwestern, and the American University in Cairo (AUC), where she hopes to major in either Law or Mass Communication.
Having moved to Schutz in the beginning of 8th grade, Farah feels that Schutz has shaped the person she is today. It has made her more confident in facing any problems that come her way. “Schutz is not just my school, it is my second family that I have found within those front gates”, explained Farah. She recalls her first day at school, as she crossed the big gate at 51 Schutz station, she felt nervous and wanted to turn back and go home. But as she approached the front porch and met her classmates, she immediately felt like she had known them for years. Well it has been five years, and it is now time for this lady falcon to say her goodbyes. “For all high schoolers, especially juniors, seize every opportunity you get because you only live once!”
