EDITORIAL This academic year will forever be etched in our memories—not only for its challenges, but also for the strength and unity it revealed within our community. Lebanon has endured a trying year, marked by instability and the shadow of regional conflict. At times, the uncertainty weighed heavily on our hearts and schedules. Yet, through it all, IC stood tall—a place of learning, resilience, and hope. Despite the turbulence outside our walls, our classrooms remained alive with creativity, inquiry, and care. Our students continued to grow, our teachers stood as unwavering pillars of support, and our staff worked quietly behind the scenes to keep our days moving forward. In hardship, we found strength. In difficulty, we discovered compassion. This year also marked a new chapter for IC with the arrival of Mr. Tobin Wait, our new school president. His leadership came at a time when clarity, vision, and steady hands were most needed. With a renewed focus on well-being, service, and academic excellence, Mr. Wait’s presence has already begun shaping IC’s future in promising ways. As we close this chapter, we do so with gratitude—for our community, our shared efforts, and the belief that brighter days are ahead.

VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH 2025

Good Evening, President wait, Vice Presidents, Directors, faculty & staff, families, friend. May 22 2022. The day my life changed forever. I was sitting with my family when a notification popped up: “Apply to IC through the AGC program.” I remember thinking, “Okay… but I’m used to where I am.” I had my routine, my friends, my goals—I wasn’t ready for change. And yet, something told me to try. I filled out the form, took a breath… And clicked. One click—and everything changed. I joined IC in Grade 10—nervous, excited, and 90% sure I’d walk into the wrong class. But what I found here was so much more than just the right classroom. I found a place that challenged me, supported me, and welcomed me — all at once. Whether you’ve been here since nursery, joined last year, came from another school, another country, or through a scholarship—one thing became true for all of us: IC became home. I still remember my first day. I walked into class, sat in the first row, and told myself: “This year, it’s just school and football. no distractions.” Fast forward to first break — I was sitting with a group of people, eating Izzy cookies and laughing on the bench. A week later, hangouts at Roadsters, five months in, I was celebrating CSL campaigns, counting down to NESAC tournaments, and completing my civic commitment hours. And now? I can’t believe it’s all coming to an end ‫ إال بعد ما فلّيت‬IC ‫ “ ما عرفت قمية الـ‬:‫داميًا نمسع املثال‬ ‫بس انا؟‬ ‫ إال بعد ما جيت‬IC-‫انا ما عرفت قمية ال‬ I didn’t have to leave to understand what this place meant. From the moment I arrived, I knew—something here was going to change me. I thought I knew who I was,I thought I was already molded, already shaped. But IC? IC added a single drop of water. And reshaped the version of me I believed was final. It gave me space to grow — not just as a student or an athlete, but as a thinker, a global citizen a leader, and a friend. IC taught us that learning isn’t just about grades or deadlines — it’s about purpose. It taught us to take what we’ve learned and use it beyond the classroom, to lead, to serve, and to give back to our community. IC shows us that success has more than one path, that you can build a future without losing the present. We joined teams. We built projects. We found people we now call family — people who turned ordinary moments into lasting memories. Because here, every day mattered. And the truth is, it’s not just the big moments that shape us. It’s every tiny choice along the way. The major you’re going to study. The friends you made. The things you discovered about yourself. Whether it was your decision, your parents’, a teacher’s advice — it all led to this Day. And if you trace it back far enough, it probably started with one key moment — A parent enrolling you at IC. A move to a new school. A leap into the unknown. And from that one moment, hundreds of unique journeys began. We’re all different. Athletes, artists, musicians, academics — even the ones who look like they have it all figured out.But sometimes… it gets too much. You fall. And yet — at IC, you never fall alone. You explore new directions, but you’re always supported. You stumble, but you never hit the

Lycée ground. Because here, something—or someone—always catches you. Now everyone imagine this: You’re in the final minutes of a match. You’re down 3/0. You feel the pressure. Giving up seems easier. But just when you’re ready to walk off the court… Your team shows up. The Leadership team wins the ball and sends it forward. Counselors and teachers control it, passing to AGC—leading with heart and purpose— who cross it to Activities and Athletics, steady and strong. Civic Commitment, Advisors, and Staff keep it calm …and push it ahead. And finally—your friends. Fast. Fearless. Right by your side. They make the perfect run, receive, and pass it to you. You’re the 11th player. You score. Once. Then twice. Then again. You go on. You win. That… that’s the IC spirit. But what is the IC spirit, really? Is it when you send a teacher an email at 2 a.m. and they actually respond? Is it when u come to class forgetting to do a project and ur classmate saves you ? Is it the CSLbattles that make it special? What is it? Well, that’s the thing—you can’t truly describe it until you’ve lived it. Everyone has their own version. Everyone has their own way of describing it. But none of it would’ve been possible without the people who guided us along the way. To our teachers — thank you for your patience, your guidance, and your relentless belief in us. You saw our potential even when we couldn’t. To the leadership team, thank you for hearing us, guiding us, and supporting us. To our families — thank you for the sacrifices we saw and the ones we didn’t, for your unconditional love and for being our anchor in every moment of doubt. Mom, Nour—thank you for believing in me. I’m sorry I had to keep this speech a secret… But I hope this moment makes it worth it. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that through everything — family leads the way. And while I’ll always be grateful for the family I have at home, here at IC… I found a second one. To Promo 2025—thank you. For the laughter. The chaos. The curve prayers we sent before exams. For the last-minute rush to finish projects, presentations, and community service hours. For the senior prank that turned into a full-on marathon. From sleepy smiles at senior sunrise to soaked shirts in the last day waterfight. We laughed, we cried and turned every hallway into a story we will tell forever. But somehow, together… We made it. To my fellow graduates, right now i want you all to try something a little different. Take a moment… and just Look around you. On your left on your right are the people you’ve laughed with, cried with—the people who’ve shaped these years Think of one memory. Just one. A moment you want to carry with you, wherever you go. Hold on to it. Because it’s these little moments that keep us connected. This — right here, right now — is the last time we’ll all be together as the Class of 2025. The last time we sit side by side before we each go on to chase different dreams. So don’t take this for granted. Don’t forget how far you’ve come — how much you’ve grown. Be proud. Be grateful. For the hard days, the good days, the lessons, the laughter, and the people who stood by you through it all. And after this, before anything else — I want you all to turn to your parents, your family, thank them.for believing in you. for every opportunity and most importantly for choosing IC as ur home. Haya Saeed Najjad, class of 2025
