Ingy Bids Farewell to the Place She once Called HomeBy Aya Kordy
Ingy Fahmy entered the gates of Schutz as a timid ECP-Half student, and, after spending a few years at the German School in Alexandria, she returned to Schutz in the third grade. At Schutz, Ingy embarked on a journey that led her to choose Regents American College in London, where she will major in Public Relations. This, however, will not be the end of her career. Bizoo, as she is commonly known, plans on earning a post-graduate degree in Interior Design and pursuing her dream of becoming an interior designer by opening her own firm and expanding it from Alexandria to Europe and New York City.
Even though she seems to have it all planned out, she can not see or imagine herself 10 years from now. She hopes she will be “happy and satisfied” with the life she will be leading with her family. Ingy believes Schutz has taught her everything she needs to know to prepare for the next stage of her life, adding, “I’ll be closing the door on my high school days confident that Schutz transformed me from a young naïve girl into a young woman with countless opportunities ahead of her.” Nonetheless, she considers her weakness to be her “extremely emotional and over-sensitive feelings towards things and matters,” and this can sometimes hinder her ability to judge or make certain decisions. Many people tend to think of Bizoo as a shy person. She agrees that she is to a certain extent. She quotes her friends saying, “People who don’t know you think you are quiet, people who know you wish you were.” Still, almost everyone who knows her realizes that she is “stubborn and emotional,” and that food plays a major role in her life. She is commonly referred to as Schutz’s princess for her blond hair and her rather elevated sense of style, being voted by students as most stylish for three consecutive years.
Ingy has left a strong mark on Schutz, but she believes that Schutz has left a much stronger mark on her. Her gratitude “comes down to a simple thank you,” even though she knows that it will never be enough. She hopes that she could one day return all that Schutz has offered her by making Schutz proud of her accomplishments. To Ingy leaves the following message to Schutz, “I will forever be indebted to you. I spent some of the best days of my life on your grounds and they will never be replaced. I cherish and love you with all my heart.” Looking back at her memories at Schutz, she finds it hard to pinpoint only one that she will always cherish. She will miss “the laughs shared in Miss Samiha’s classroom, the tears shed in graduations, and the atmosphere of the students sitting together and being in a classroom where so many things happen.”
Her last words of wisdom to the junior class are, “Do not be in a hurry to graduate. Trust me, when it keeps coming closer, all you would want to do is pause time and rewind it back to when you were a freshman, and start it all over again. Put yourself out there and experience every moment.” As Ingy bids farewell to Schutz and prepares for her adult life in London, she would like to thank her parents for shaping her into a confident young woman ready to take off into the real world. With that being said, I am confident that Ingy will face the world with great ambition and desire, startling us with all her future achievements in order to make Schutz delighted to have graduated such a thriving individual.
