Howler News staff writer Andrew Reaidy sat down with Majd to get his perspective on being a member of the Class of 23.

Howler News: How was your high school experience?

Majd:  My high school experience was full of ups and downs especially with starting my high school experience online due to covid. It was hard to settle in when I came back to school during my sophomore year but it became easier with time and after noticing that everyone went through covid in their own ways.

HN: Was it what you expected? If not what did you expect?

Majd:  It was not what I expected it was actually better. I thought that at a school this big you wouldn’t be able to connect with others on that scale but it surprised me because everyone knows everyone.

HN: How was virtual learning for you, was it a struggle? If so, why?

Majd: Virtual learning for me was a struggle because I was in Lebanon quarantining so the time difference affected me heavily. I would start school at 4 pm and end at 12 am.

HN: What made you want to graduate early? Are you ready for the real world?

Majd:  I wanted to graduate early because I’m ready and excited to start a new chapter of my life. I think I’m ready for the real world because I am quite mature, and I easily adapt to new environments.

HN:  What do you plan on doing after you graduate?

Majd:  I plan on going to University of Houston for my undergraduate in entrepreneurship then I will continue to do my masters in London.

HN:  How do you think the world and economy is going to be in 20 years?

Majd:  I think the world will change in 20 years for the better and the economy will be better than ever because there is a saying that lives to be true that there is a recession every 10 years and when it bounce back it only grows stronger.

HN:  By 40 where do you want to be?

Majd:  At 40 I want to be self-made, hopping off my private jet, onto my 170ft long yacht, to go to my private island, to spend my vacation with my 20 kids.
