IC Memoires
Dear Moufid,
Thank you for the news letter. Just seeing the Issue
brings to me all the happy memories we built during
those years,
Thank you for putting a smile on our faces in this
troubled age.

Dear IC,
IC. My second home, an institution that truly gave
me a well rounded education and helped me reach
where I am today. I only graduated in summer 2007,
yet it seems like another lifetime. I owe so much to
IC, that it is very hard, if not impossible, to over-
look. However, it is time for me to try and give back
a little of what I was given. I intended to make this
contribution, as humble as it might be, because it is
contributions like this that aided in my graduation
from IC. This donation which I plan on giving on a
yearly basis, because, maybe … just maybe, someday I
would’ve paid IC some of the gratitude I owe it.
“Pure as the snows of the mountains
Deep as the purple sea
Clear as the crystal fountain
Cedar-song our love shall be”

Dear Moufid,
IC has meant many things to me: an excellent
educational experience, a rich cultural setting and
a place to meet life long friends. And if there is one
thing that captures all of these, it is that IC provided
me early on with the eyes and tools to see a better
world and succeed in it.
Thank you and best regards,

Dear IC,
“Could I ever explain the “reason being” behind
those strange feelings that I carry towards IC. It’s
only when you leave that “peaceful heaven” and dive
deeper and deeper in the everyday’s life, that you get
to realize the value of the place you’ve spent 15 years
of your 22 years’ life in. And how many times did I
decide to send my latest news to this amazing news-
letter, but each and everytime, I used to surrender
and change my mind at the very last seconds. This
was due to the following: I.C. tought me to seek for
the “better” whenever you reach to the “best”. And
whenever I chieved something, a diploma, a project,
a job... I would immediately seek for the “more”, and
that’s how I’ve spent my first four years away from
my alma mater, achieving the best and looking to-
wards the better. And i always thaught not to email
I.C. until I finish achieving everything I wanted. But
then i realized that you could not go on this way,
and that i gotta keep my alma mater posted so that
it will accompany me, step by step, in this long jour-
ney called life.

Dear Moufid,
Somehow I had a little time to reflect on life this
weekend and much of it had to do about my chil-
dren. As I see them grow into young adults, I am so
proud to be associated with the International College
in the task of making sure that they take the right
path early in their lives. Raising children is a shared
responsibility between parents and teachers/schools.
Today, I have the utmost respect for the teachers of IC
and I am so glad that my children are attending IC.
Thank you for helping me to fulfill the goal of rais-
ing my children within a system driven by high core
values that undoubtedly is being transferred down to
the children.
Please accept this gift to the general fund which I
anticipate to contribute on a yearly basis.
Best personal regards and I look forward to seeing
you soon,
Hazem Farra
