understand the subject.
What are two things that you like

programming. It has also helped me
with my work at school, because it has
made me a more well rounded, and
balanced individual.
What is the subject that you enjoy
most and why?
The subject that I enjoy most at school
is physics. I am currently taking the
Higher Level Physics course for the
IB high-school diploma program. It is
very challenging, but also enjoyable.
I like physics, because it is very
mathematical, straight-forward and
logical. It also has many real world
applications. Higher Level Physics
will help me achieve my goals later
in life, allowing me to get a job that
has something to do with mechanical
engineering, or programming.
What are two things that you like
most about the UAE and why?
What I like most about the UAE culture
is that it is very international. Most of
the people here are expats from other
countries, and are very welcoming
to newcomers. I also li ke that people
here are often very laid back, but still
get work done.

What I love most about ACS is the
people that go to school here. I am
friends with almost everyone in my
grade. My closest friends always

of motivation, and the support from
my friends.
