What is/has been your favorite subject at Friends?
"My favorite subject at Friends was my Islamic Studies class. I have been able to travel to a few Islamic countries (Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan), which sparked my interest in this class. In class, we created posters for different Islamic figures, made presentations for different Islamic countries, and had in-depth class discussions about different aspects of the Quran. Our teacher (Mr. Khan) was very passionate and knowledgeable about this subject, which I deeply appreciated."
How do you think Friends has prepared you for your next step in life?
"Since I have been at Friends my entire life, I have had many opportunities that I may not have had otherwise. A few examples of this are the language immersion trip to France that my French class took, numerous Middle School field trips, and my summer job as a lifeguard at Friends' camp, Summer at Friends. The college counselors have also been a huge advantage of attending Friends. They helped me through the sports recruiting process, writing my personal statement, and sending in my application."
