Introducing ... Ahmad Saleh!

All About Me

Hey Everyone! My name is Ahmad Saleh, and I am thrilled to share my first-ever blog! I am currently a sophomore at Everglades High School and excelling in the Cambridge Program. I am a very involved scholar, partaking in numerous clubs such as the Science and Math Honor Societies. I was born and raised here in South Florida to Lebanese parents. I travel to Lebanon during the summer to spend time with my family and enjoy a significantly different lifestyle than in the United States. Also, I'm bilingual, speaking both English and Arabic fluently. Some of my hobbies are gaming and soccer. In fact, my favorite soccer team is Liverpool F.C. and I have been a huge fan of the team for many years now! If I had to pick a favorite moment, it would be either Liverpool's dramatic 4-0 comeback win in the Champions League Semi-finals or the wild 7-0 win against Manchester United at Anfield. If you couldn't tell yet, I am very passionate about this team and sport.

Choosing AICE Media Studies

My selection of AICE Media Studies is not confined to one reason alone. In my time at this school so far, I've been enjoying the opportunity to take Cambridge classes, and I'm determined to complete my AICE diploma as soon as possible. With that in mind, seeing a fun, educational, and interactive class like AICE Media Studies on my course selection sheet did not make me hesitate in choosing it. Moreover, I've always been interested in film production, whether this be the camera shots of amazing fight scenes or the detailed visuals in animation. Getting the chance to learn about filmmaking and even create my own movie opener is very appealing and attention-grabbing. Along with the diploma and amazing GPA boost, this class looks to be one of the best courses offered at my school!
