Hello, I’m Jood and I am 12 years old. I was born right here in the UAE, and am of British and Jordanian nationality.
I live with my encouraging parents, my sister Sara in Year 11 and my sister Noor in FS2. Joining BIS Abu Dhabi in Year 1 was a great decision for my family.
So, this is my 8th year here and I think the school is getting better and better as the years go on.
During my time at BIS Abu Dhabi I have been a member of the student council and appeared in the school productions of Annie and The Addams Family.
This year I have decided to be a part of the yearbook CCA, it's so fun and I can’t wait to see the finished result.
Geography and History are just some of the subjects that I particularly enjoy.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, exploring the outdoors and watching Liverpool Football Club on the T.V.
I would describe myself as a “dare-devil” as I just love roller coasters! The faster and higher – the better.
For those who know me, they know that I have a little bit of an obsession with Titanic. I was fortunate enough to visit the museum in Ireland and learn more about what happened on that tragic night in 1912…and I do think Rose should have allowed Jack on the floating door 😊.

It’s something I’ve believed for a long time — that learning isn’t predetermined by our genes. It’s about growing, persevering, and learning through the process. I was really mindful of this idea at this week’s wonderful Primary Summer Concert, after which I found myself reflecting on whether these amazing children have an innate talent, or whether they have achieved so much because of hard work and practice.
I believe it’s the latter. These children, their parents, and their teachers all seem to share the belief that by trying and working hard, they will get better at what they do. This is what we call a growth mindset.
This week at BIS Abu Dhabi, we have had the joy of celebrating both ends of the school journey and it has been a beautiful reminder of how we support our students to dream big and grow into their future selves.
As exam season unfolds, there's a special kind of stillness that settles over the school. In the quiet hum of the examination hall, behind the rustle of papers and the soft clicking of keyboards, is a profound truth: we are witnessing a moment that our students will carry with them forever. It is the culmination of years of learning, growth, and perseverance, a chapter closing and a new one ready to be written.
