Meet 5 Kids

 

Osama

Osama is a 2007 graduate of ASD, and currently attends the University of Alberta, Canada. He was born in Kuwait City, Kuwait, but claims Palestine as his nationality. His interests are playing soccer, tennis, and golf - look out Tiger Woods! His favorite restaurant when he lived in Doha was T.G.I.Fridays, as long as his friends were there to hang out with him. Osama feels that ASD is a great place for an education, and to meet people from all over the world. 

 

Stephanie

Stephanie is in 11th grade at ASD. Among her favorite pastimes are: hanging out with her friends in compounds, going to beaches and the dunes, watching movies, playing and performing music and just generally getting involved in the community. And involved she is! She plays the bass in the school’s concert band, and is a member of the Doha Community Orchestra. She does not have a favorite subject at school, because she finds something to like about all of her subjects. Once she graduates, Stephanie plans to become an engineer, but is not limiting herself to only one possible career goal, since she loves music and dance.
When it comes to eating out, Stephanie enjoys local juice stalls, shawarma stands, Indian food, and sushi. She loves the ASD community and recommends that newcomers refrain from judging Doha by its crazy construction and hectic traffic. Stephanie was born in Texas, and has lived in the US, England, and Qatar. Her favorite place to visit is Rome, Italy. She had an incredible experience at the Vatican, and loved the food in Italy. 

Jassim

As-Salāmu `Alaykum! My name is Jassim and I am a 7th grader at the American School of Doha.  I was born in Qatar, but also lived four years of my life in Boston, Washington and Virginia in the United States.  That was my childhood.  Since my Dad is a diplomat, it means our family travels and lives in lots of places.  My favorite subject is social studies, because I love learning about history and politics, and the real world.  It interests me to know how things work, how people interact, grow and continue to change over time.  I have been back in Doha and at ASD since pre-kindergarten.  ASD is my home.  It is amazing to see how this school has grown and changed.  We started in port-a-cabins, and now look at the campus!  ASD is sort of like a beanbag, it is so warm and comfortable… you fit right in!  It is hard not to make friends here.  People are welcoming and relaxed!

Jeroen

Jeroen is in second grade this year. He was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and has lived in Canada and Qatar. His two favorite places to visit are Kenya, because of its billions of animals, and Canada, where his best friend lives. Holland is very special to him, too, because his grandparents live there. During the school year, he loves to go to the desert and see wild dogs. He also enjoys going to the beach, and taking sailing lessons. Among his favorite activities at school are working with computers, playing at recess, and participating in gym and swimming. His preferred classes are art, P.E., and math. When he grows up, Jeroen plans to become either an artist, or a baker with his own bakery. Jeroen’s wise advice for students coming to Doha is, “whenever you move, you need to make the new place home.”

 

Megan

Megan is in kindergarten this year. She was born in China and is a citizen of Canada. She has lived in China, Canada, and Qatar, and her favorite place to visit is China. She likes all of the restaurants in Doha, because she likes all kinds of food, especially apples. Her favorite class at ASD is homeroom, with Mrs. La Seur. When she grows up, she plans to become a doctor, since she likes to help people get well. Megan thinks Doha is a good place to live, because the people here are nice. She also thinks the kids play nicely here, and her welcome message to new students is “I would love to play with you.”
