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 😊.
