BEGINNING OF THE END Fahad Almagsoosi

As Fahad Almagsooi walked through the doors of his new school, Fahadfelt like a stranger in a foreign land, desperately hoping that he could find his place in this unfamiliar environment. Fahad Almagsoosi, a senior at RHS, has had an interesting experience during his high school career, since he hasn’t been at Rocklin for a long time.

He actually move around a lot before coming to Rocklin. He went to multiple schools before attending Rocklin where he was able to form deeper connections easier. That was the way it was until life threw another curve ball as he changed schools. Fahad was concerned as he would have to form new relationships and connections with people in his last year of high school, without knowing anyone. Once he transferred to Rocklin high school, it had a bit of a bumpy start. “at first I thought this school was kinda boring, I was kinda mad that I had to move schools my senior year.” He mostly spent time on his own, not really speaking or getting to know people. He didn’t get to know anyone. It was very frustrating and difficult as he didn’t have a place at school he could vibe with. That all changed during one of the first weeks of school. During August, is where it all changed for him. He met his first friend at Rocklin, Roman Miller.

After getting to know each other, they decided to start hanging out after school doing activities they enjoy. Roman introduced Fahad to his other friends, allowing him to get to know other people. Through Roman, he was able to see a whole new side of Rocklin. Fahad’s time here at Rocklin might have been short, but it was definitely impactful.
