“I’m in one extracurricular, chess. I love the people there. They're very nice, even if I don’t know some people there they have a lot of things in common with me,” said Yousef.  “The jokes make chess the most memorable, anytime we were doing chess we have a whole suite of like a comedic root. It ends up being funny no matter what.”

While high school is typically described as some of the best years of our lives, everyone has a rough patch they must see through.

“The biggest hardship was definitely junior year as a whole,” said Yousef.  “I had to take multiple AP classes and dual credit  college classes, it was very difficult, especially the writing. It had gotten so bad I had to switch to an online class cause I didn’t fit into the teaching environment, but switching to a different class really helped and let me pass.”

Yousef said the support of his teachers played a huge role through high school.

While senior year flies by, Yousef looks forward to his future plans.

“I’m gonna go to the same college as my sister at Texas A&M. I want to major in marketing, I feel like it fits me. I know a lot of people think I don’t socialize a lot, but I’m pretty beloved in my class cause people know me so I think I could excel at advertising a product.”

Yousef intends to have a creative mindset during these last few months, and hopes to leave behind a positive legacy at Flour Bluff.

As Yousef reflects on his time at Flour Bluff, he leaves the underclassmen with a few words of wisdom.

“If I had to give advice make sure you don't overwork yourself, that is just the basics you need to know. Like how I overworked myself junior year, but also push your boundaries at the same time.”
