Senior Year Valedictory ProjectTRANSCRIPT
Nicole Nimri
We do not know what another person is experiencing in their lives or what has happened
to them to make them behave a certain way. We can never take people at face value because there
is so much more to people than what they show. Each person in the world has passions, hopes,
dreams, fears, a family, and their own desires, so it is unfair to label someone based on how they
acted a certain day. You really can’t appreciate anything in this world if you only see it through
the black and white lens that is your own perspective; we add color to our world when we allow
ourselves to see it in a different light. We cannot expect people to behave and think as we do,
because no one is you. People are themselves and we have to take the good and the bad from
them and accept them for what they are. Once you are able to understand other people’s depth
and their perception it allows you to understand yourself better and allows you to appreciate the
world that you live in more fruitfully.

Inside this issue:
The question as to the mean-
ing of life is as long as life
itself. After nearly 18 years on
this Earth, I’ve found that our
life is not defined by our time
here, but how we spend our
time here. The meaning of life
is to give meaning to others
lives. Life’s purpose is the
search for purpose. It is what
you can contribute to others, it
is the love that overflows from
your life to other’s lives. Our
purpose is to connect with one
another, to form a chain of
brotherhood and unity with
the rest of the world. We
were created to be on this
earth to experience the great-
est Love known, or rather,
unknown to man by God, and
to return this love to others.
Our purpose is the pursuit of
God’s divine love and the life-
long practice of spreading this
perfect love. I’ve come to find
that no matter how satisfied I
think I may be with whatever I
am doing at the time, our
fondest memories are those
that we have shared with oth-
ers. It is those times when we
have felt close to other people
and shared in the joy that life
brings. Our meaning is the
pursuit of a connection and
intimacy with God and others.
As a friend, I try to
embody the qualities
that my friends
should have, because
I know in order to
have a balanced
friendship you often
get what you give. I
am encouraging and
I listen without judg-
ment. Everyone
makes mistakes, and
your role as a friend
is to give your opin-
ion, but understand
that people are free
to make whatever
decisions they want
and are telling you
their story because
they see you as a
confidant. A disad-
vantage to being a
friend is finding the
balance between hav-
ing your own life and
interests and being
there for a friend.
Often, I find myself
caught up in my own
problems, other
friends, stress, or in-
terests that I become
aloof, may ignore, or
may lash out against
a friend depending
on the circumstance.
However, the advan-
tages of having
someone invest in
your life and having
someone to enjoy and
spend time with out-
weighs the cons. My
friendship with others
helps shape my char-
acter; every person
that I encounter has
some sort of effect on
me and teaches me
about myself and
about what qualities I
value in the people
around me.

Most Influential Person
She was
young and her
smile and energy
brightened the
entire room. She
was the only child
of my aunt’s four
children that had
the same blonde
spiral curls as her
mom- a feature
which made her
unique in our
Middle Eastern
family. Her life as
well as her death
has shaped me
into becoming the
person that I am
today, and sadly,
it often takes the
former to appreci-
ate the latter. The
courage to battle
cancer at age five
is unfathomable;
she was diagnosed
with a rare type of
cancer and had to
undergo chemo at
that age. Those
blonde spirals
vanished, but she
was still always
the most beautiful
girl in the room.
With maturity and
courage beyond
her years, she
faced it head on,
often being the
one to reassure
her family, leav-
ing behind letters
for her siblings
and mother for
them to read later
on. She possessed
the fervent curios-
ity of a child and
was eager to learn
and experience as
much as she could
with the little time
she had on this
Earth. She
showed me that
our obstacles do
not define us and
not to waste life
spending time on
the mundane, be-
cause the ordinary
that we experi-
ence is what she
fought desperately
to have.
“She showed
me that our obstacles
do not define us and
not to waste life
spending time on the
mundane, because the
ordinary that we
experience is what she
fought desperately to
have. “
Time Capsule
1.) Paper Towns by John Green; I would include this book in my time capsule be-
cause it’s my favorite book and has influenced my outlook on life and also reflects
that I love to read.
2.) Phone charger; I would include a phone charger because our generation is im-
mensely dependent on our phones, myself included. We can’t go anywhere with-
out our phones, with a plethora of social media websites, a built in camera, GPS,
and the ability to put bank accounts or flight info onto our phone, many of us
really wouldn’t be able to live without our phones.
3.) A DVD; only because if this was a time capsule, I’d want to open it up and
find that this was a time when we still watched movies on DVD, since I’m sure
that by the time our capsule would be opened, DVD’s would be long gone.
4.) My necklace with my name written in Arabic; It resembles my name and the
fact that I am Middle Eastern. My culture is the most important thing to me and I
would want future generations to know that about me.
5.) A cross; My faith is very important to me and that’s also something I would
want known about me. I also wonder what faith will be like in the future, as I see
it slowly deteriorate from our lives today.

Throughout high school, I
really wasn’t a part of any
clubs except for recently,
Youth Alive, which is a Chris-
tian club. I hope that I am re-
flective of Christ because as a
Christian that’s we hope to be.
I hope to be remembered as a
peacemaker- as someone
who’s voice was used to en-
courage and fill people with
life. I hope that I stand out as
someone who wasn’t like what
society breeds. Remember me
as someone with ideas and a
dream to change the world that
we live in, to make a differ-
ence in the lives of others. Re-
member me as one to voice an
unpopular opinion but to have
a solution and peaceful resolve
to back it up, because words
without actions are dead. Re-
member me as a girl who
brought life into the room and
could flip a gloomy day into a
joyful experience that will
resonate with people. I hope
that I can brighten people’s
hearts and mind. I hope I am
remembered as someone you
could voice your thoughts to
with a guaranteed confidence
that it wouldn’t lesser your
image or reputation in my
eyes.
As eighth grade girls, Lily,
Josee, Sam, and I believed that
the four of us would be best
friends forever. We were sure
that our sisterhood would with-
stand the hardships of high
school, whatever they may be.
The summer before our fresh-
man year of high school we de-
cided that we would hold a sa-
cred ceremony where we buried
a time capsule containing indi-
vidual letters to each other and
little gifts and trinkets that were
symbolic between each of us.
That night we brought every-
thing that we would bury and
walked to the small wooded
area in Lily’s backyard. We set
up candles and played the song,
“Time of Your Life” by Green
Day and we read our letters off
as sentimental tears escaped
with each sentence. Josee
wrapped duct tape all around
the box to ensure that the ele-
ments wouldn’t taint anything
in our box in the coming years
as Lily and I took turns digging
up a hole in the crusted and
hardened soil. We looked at our
eyes, blackened with runny
makeup once we got inside,
wondering what would be dif-
ferent when we encountered the
box again after four years
elapsed.

My Goals for the future...
Despair & Lesson Learned...
I didn’t understand why
or how a five year old
could be diagnosed with
one of the rarest types of
cancer, or why someone
half my age had to un-
dergo trials that I would-
n’t dream of experienc-
ing my entire life. I
couldn’t bear witness to
the slow degeneration of
one of the most beautiful
young girls in our entire
family and seeing the
beautiful blonde curls
that were a rarity in our
culture disappear through
rounds of chemo therapy
or the eager struggle to
fit a lifetime of learning
and experience into a
short three years because
she was uncertain she
would live to experience
these things naturally. I
definitely didn’t under-
stand burying an eight
year old in a white casket
and kissing a cold face
for the last time. I didn’t
know how to deal with
the enormous, crushing
weight of the regret I had
for things unsaid and
promises not kept be-
cause of underestimated
time. In this time of
grief, I learned to lean
not on my own under-
standing and trust God;
there were things in this
life that I wouldn’t un-
derstand or their purpose
not revealed until later,
perhaps never, and that I
would just have to accept
that. I learned that you
need to make the most of
every day, as cliché as it
sounds, because life truly
is a gift that we are not
guaranteed. I learned to
have a childlike curiosity
and eagerness to learn
and experience life, as
though my time was of
the essence, just as my
cousin, Dounia’s had
been.
“You may say I’m a
dreamer, but I’m not the
only one,” once sang my
idol John Lennon. My
hopes for the future are
indeed ambitious, unreal-
istic to some, but circu-
late around my passions.
Something along the
lines of international af-
fairs, foreign relations,
diplomacy, and even
law, with a concentration
in the Middle East is
where my heart is. My
mind never registered
and clicked with the
numbers and logic that
math offered, but instead
with the flow and beauty
of words and the past.
There is nothing more
important to me than my
culture, and nothing I
want to fight for harder
than peace throughout
the world, but especially
in the Middle East. A
dream job would be to
work in the United Na-
tions, but I don’t quite
know if I want to pursue
a path in law as an attor-
ney first or perhaps
something in English to
teach children how to
read and write. I plan on
attending Indiana
Wesleyan this fall, and
working far harder than I
did in high school and
immersing myself in my
studies and the activities
and clubs they offer, then
either getting a license as
a teacher or going on to
law or business school. I
know what I like, and I
know that I want to help
people in the world and
want desperately to be a
part of a movement for
peace but I’m open to the
journey that will lead me
to my career choice.

10. The Pact by Jodi Picoult
This book also gave me an interest in law which I’m now
looking into in college. This book really questioned the
boundaries of love and how far you’d go to make some-
one happy, and if that really counted as love.
9. The Ghost of Fossil Glen by Cynthia DeFelice
This was one of my favorite books when I was a child.
My cousin loved to explain the books she read to me, and
I was so enchanted by this book that I went and rented it
from the library and I fell in love. I went on to read the
next two books by this author. I had always loved reading
books when I was younger, but I loved reading to learn,
this was one of the first books that I read for pleasure, and
I credit this book for my love for reading and books.
8. The Boy With The Cuckoo Clock Heart by Mathias
Malzieu
I love this book because it was just so eloquently and
beautifully written. It was a rare occurrence where I loved
the book more for its flow, metaphors, and words, more
so than its plot.
7. Running With Scissors by Augustine Burroughs
This book taught me to embrace the inner weirdness that
we all have, because you can never make a fool out of
yourself if you’re enjoying yourself.
6. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott
Fitzgerald
I love this book because it sums up the empty pursuit of
the American Dream and the shallowness of the wealthy
who have nothing to lose, so use their money as a protec-
tor and in fact, do lose nothing. One of my favorite quotes
was, “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just re-
member that all the people in this world haven’t had the
advantages that you’ve had.” We really have so much,
and in comparison to much of the rest of the world are so
fortunate, and in regards have the world at our feet. This
book captivated me, because I felt like even though it was
written in the 20’s still parallels
our lives today, and for this reason
is a classic.
5. The Fault in Our Stars by John
Green
I loved reading this book. It was one of those books where
you read it, and then you had a book hangover for the re-
mainder of that day. One of my favorite quotes is, “You
don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you
do have some say in who hurts you.” You get to choose
who you invest your heart in, even if it’s just a friendship.
Life isn’t fair for anyone but it’s also up to you to choose
who gets to be apart of your life, and I feel like that’s a
very important thing to remember- that you are the author
of your life. 4. Looking for Alaska by John Green
This book is one of my favorites because it helped me
come to terms when my cousin died, and helped me for-
give myself. The book spoke things that I myself was
feeling, “We had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth.
There were so many of us who would have to live with
things done and things left undone that day. Things that
did not go right, things that seemed okay at the time be-
cause we could not see the future. If only we could see the
endless string of consequences that result from our small-
est actions. But we can’t know better until knowing better
is useless.” This quote resonated with me because it is raw
and has proven true with experience. The only way to sur-
vive the labyrinth that is life, is to forgive.
3. Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling
I absolutely adored reading these books, and I’ve actually
read the whole series more than once. My brother also
read the series, and it was always tradition to see the latest
Harry Potter movie with my family. I grew up with this
series, the books were the foundation of the movies that
brought my family together and were one of the few
things that we bonded over. This series gave me a love for
reading and showed me that books were a magical thing
that could transport you to mystical places.
2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
This book was written in such an insightful way, and
Charlie’s perspective is one that has resonated with me
ever since I read this book almost five years ago. This
book has taught me that if you feel a certain way, or want
to do something you need to show it. “You can't just sit
there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think
that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do
things.” This is important to me because it taught me that
I should let people know what I enjoy about them or if
they’re doing something I don’t like. Another valuable
lesson this book has taught me that no matter if people
have it worse than you, it doesn’t belittle the pain that you
have and you shouldn’t have to apologize for feeling pain,
even if someone may have it worse than you, you still
have what you have.
1. Paper Towns by John Green
This is my favorite book of all time, because I feel as
though I can relate to one of the main characters, Margo
very much; she embodies much of how I feel and does
things that I wish I could do, but am too scared to do. This
book has taught me one of the most important lessons I’ve
ever learned and that is that you can’t expect people to be
you. You can’t expect them to live for you, or live like
you; you just have to accept people for how they are and
appreciate the good in people. You can’t change a person,
so it’s important to just enjoy the things that you do enjoy
in a person and not focus on the qualities that you don’t
like in a person.

http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/lady-gaga-our-lady-of-pop/#
This article was about Lady Gaga and trying to understand who she was on and
offstage. It discussed her crazy and raw self onstage and her one of a kind relationship
with her fans, and what she thought of herself, and how in person she was very different
from the person she was onstage. The article made a great analysis of her name, in the
essence that as a performer she is “GaGa” and that in person she is more of a Lady.
Lady Gaga was actually named second most influential person of the decade in a Time
Magazine poll which makes her a perfect candidate for the pop culture portion of this.
Although shock factor in artists has been forever, Gaga has taken it new extremes, with
her Grammy egg entrance and her meat dress. Lady Gaga is also a huge advocate for
equal rights in the gay community which also adds to her popularity and even contro-
versy. Although she had only been around for three years she is a common household
name and always sure to turn heads, raise eyebrows, and stir up questions about her lat-
est performance or outfit.
Lady Gaga– Pop Icon of the Decade
A Decade of Movie Making Over—Harry Potter
http://nytimes.com/2011/07/03/movies/the-fans-are-all-right-for-harry-
potter.html?ref=harrypotter&_r=0
This article discusses the evolution of Harry Potter as movies and as
books from becoming progressively darker and about the huge success that the
movies have been in the box office and throughout the decade. The article talks
about the influence that Harry Potter has had in bringing adults to the fond nos-
talgia or being young, and equally, the children in the fascination of growing up
all the while woven in a captivating fantasy cinema. It is vital to include Harry
Potter as one of the most important pop culture movements of our time because it
was based on beloved best seller books that many of us read as children, and
movies which literally were with us throughout most of our lives. The Harry Pot-
ter films lasted over a decade, meaning that I had begun watching Harry Potter at
the age of 6 following me to age 16. This movie series has birthed an era of fan-
tasy movies and books risen, inspired by J.K Rowling’s art work and has brought
people together through a love of this book. I know this to be especially true as it
is the biggest and one of the few things that my family and I bond over. We
would watch every Harry Potter movie together when it came out, and my
brother and I would watch it in the car on long road trips. It is one of the rare and
few book and movie series that you get to enjoy as a child and actually grow up
with as the characters grow up as well.

History Repeats… Israel & Palestine Divided by a Wall
9/11
http://www.aljazeera.com/indeptch/features/2012/12/20121225825178322.html
There has been a wall being built progressively over the last ten years
dividing Israel and Palestine, cutting through more of Palestine’s land that has
been claimed by Israel. Israel has excused the division by saying it is for security
reasons but many speculate that it is to set future boundaries for the would-be
division of the states. The article discusses the negative effects that the wall has
had over the economy in Palestine and the social structure of Palestine as well,
since it has separated families and friends from each other. The wall also has
forced people to leave their homes so that they would not forfeit their right to
visit Jerusalem. This angers me because it’s just another step that Israel has
taken in their process of ethnic cleansing that no one has done anything about.
History repeats itself; is this the next Berlin Wall? When will it be torn down
though? I hope to see a day where there is peace and justice served.
http”//www.dogonews.com/2012/9/10/0-slash-11-a-date-americans-will-never-
forget
This article gave a synopsis of the events that happened on September 11,
2001, briefly explaining the four hijacked planes and the two that crashed into the
World Trade Centers, killing over 3,000 people. I think this is important to include
because this was the most massive terrorist attack to happen to the United States and
it happened to occur in our lifetime. This act of unnecessary and senseless violence
ignited the longest war in the history of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan
and ultimately the war on terror. Not only did this awful act take the life in thou-
sands in a day, but thousands more in the coming decade. It soiled America’s name
in some parts of the Middle East, believing that in the end more harm then good
came out of our retaliation but we did prove our might and that we would not stand
against terrorism against us. 9/11 was one of the solemn events that brought together
our nation; hero’s rose up to bring people out of the ashes and help those in need,
and that’s what makes me thankful to be an American. That’s something that all of
us should be thankful for, that we have heroes who will fight for us and our coun-
try’s safety at all costs.

A Little’s Enough by Angels & Airwaves
When all is said and done
Will we still feel pain inside?
Will the scars go away with night?
Try to smile for the morning light
It’s like the best dream to have
Where every thing is not so bad
Every tear is so alone
Like God himself is coming home to say
I, I can do anything
If you want me here
And I can fix anything
If you let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you’re too scared to tell
I’d whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself
Green trees were the first sign
The deepest blue, the clearest sky
The silence came with the brightest eyes
And turned water into wine
The children ran to see
The parents stood in disbelief
And those who knew braced for the ride
The earth itself then came alive to say
I, I can do anything
If you want me here
And I can fix anything
If you let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you’re too scared to tell
I’d whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself
I’m sorry I have to say it but you look like you’re
sad
Your smile is gone; I’ve noticed it bad
The cure is if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little’s enough (x6)
I listened to this song nearly every night of
the summer of 2010. This song really helped com-
fort me when my cousin died. This is one of the
most important songs to me because it helped me
grieve her passing and it also helped me understand
my best friend being on suicide watch and his drug
addictions. It was a reminder that no matter how
much you closed your heart off, and no matter how
much pain there was, that God and people in gen-
eral will be there for you, and all you have to do is
let them in. All you have to do is let love in, and
even if it’s a little love, a little is all you need to
make a difference. A little love would be enough to
save someone. I know this to be true because when
I let God’s love into my life I was filled with a
peace and hope that I didn’t know existed. All I had
to do was let Him and open up to Him and tell Him
all the secrets I was afraid to tell. This is still true
now, not just with God but with people, that all you
have to do is let people in to get close and connect
with them.

I love this portrait of Adele Bloche Baur by Gustav Klimt. It stands
out to me because the girl is just so captivating somehow. Her blueish tint
along with her bright cheeks and lips is entrancing. Her sad eyes make me
want to stare at the painting forever, and her posture makes her look timid
and wary which makes you wonder why. I like paintings that can have you
ask questions with just one picture. I also love Klimt’s color sheme and
shapes that he uses. Especially what looks like eyes on Adele’s dress. An-
other reason for choosing this piece besides that I like it, an ex best friend
whom I had an unhealthy controlling friendship with, would forbid me of
getting this in our dorm room because it was too creepy for her. I’ll be pick-
ing up this piece from Broad Ripple Vintage for my dorm sometime this
summer, and I’m absolutely ecstatic for it.
