Saadia Ahmad:  

uld get to know “If we wish to understand suffering, we must first understand God. God is neither tame nor arbitrary, not simply understood or accommodating of our wishes but also not mean, perverse, or directly willing our suffering. God is God. His will is mysterious but also infinite in its compassion and love.” –Fr. Joseph Guido, he provides me with immense wisdom and support "Be real but not raw, frank but not blunt, open but not offensive." -Nedzer Erilius, a great alumnus and former employee of PC who gave me so much in such a short time "You can't please everyone all the time; you'd be trying to fail." - Mr. Marusky, 8th grade writing teacher "Just remember we all have a path to be on but where it leads us is ALWAYS for us to choose and even the choices can be reviewed with new info... You are your own GPS." - Mr. Scurato, 8th grade Social Studies teacher who helped the most in my transition to SB "Keep on doing what you're doing, no matter how you're treated. Because you know what? It never was between you and them - it was always between you and God." - Mr. Loh, (from Mother Teresa) I couldn't have asked for a better journalism teacher and adviser who helped me grow as a journalist, leader, and person "Find someone who is always honest with you - not one of your 100+ friends on Facebook - and do your best to make them proud." -Mr. Ziminski, best English teacher - I can truly say I learned how to read critically, write clearly, and think logically from him. "All of you are about to embark upon a new stage. What are your intended goals and aspirations? What is your sphere of influence on those around you? These are questions that must be answered and anything short of phenomenal or spectacular is not good enough. If your goal is not to achieve brilliance, then what kind of goal are you setting for yourself?" - Mr. Dentler, Algebra II teacher, a true role model for being a good and genuine person despite so many hardships; his life story changed the way I live my own life. "Why did you think you're done? You're just getting started." - Dr. DeBari, adviser for Renaissance through high school and Honors Chem teacher in 11th grade MY CINEMA "Power comes in response to a need, not a desire. You have to create that need." -Goku, Dragon Ball Z "True focus lies between rage and serenity." -Charles Xavier, X-Men: First Class "I do not fear this new challenge. Rather, like a true warrior, I will rise to meet it." - Vegeta, Dragon Ball Z "You've become a truly great warrior, and yet you've remained humble. You've shown me that power is nothing if not guided by love, and watching you grow has helped me grow." -Piccolo, Dragon Ball GT "Now that I've met you, I'll be with you in spirit no matter where you go." - Goku, Dragon Ball Z Despite the seemingly tremendous external differences, the Muslim community and the X-Men share common challenges and goals. “Right now, we have a world out there to worry about – a world that fears us. Somehow we must teach them that we are the good guys, before it's too late.” –Storm, X-Men Evolution "I realize this is not an easy time for you, but please realize something: for whatever reason, you have been chosen to take the first step into this new world, to lead the way, to be a beacon of hope for mutants yet to come. This is not only a big responsibility, it is an honor. I'm always astonished at the wondrous things that can be built of the ashes of tragedy. For even the face of bigotry and discrimination, the X-Men will endure.” –Professor X, X-Men Evolution "We have avoided catastrophe; it was not without its price, however. But steel has forged through fire and like it, we have been made stronger, we are prepared for what the future brings... Many challenges still await us, but I saw some who have been our enemies become friends. And with a heavy heart, I saw the dearest of friends become the most terrible of enemies. But one thing was clear, that no matter what awaits us, the X-Men will always be there ready, and of that, I am proud.” –Professor X, final scene of X-Men: Revolution".
