Abe Abdallah
Abe’s time at West Side Montessori may have been brief, but it was meaningful.
He came to West Side this year as an eighth-grade student, embracing the opportunity for a different kind of learning experience beyond traditional schooling. Throughout his time at West Side, he played basketball and soccer, immersing himself in athletics and teamwork.
Among his favorite moments, Art class with Jennifer stood out. He appreciated the way she understood him, making the class a space where he could express himself freely. His most memorable experience, however, was the trip to Philadelphia—his first major memory at West Side, marking the beginning of a year filled with growth and new friendships. His Montessori education has helped him build confidence and improve his communication skills, preparing him for the next chapter in his journey.
Abe is grateful that his family chose West Side for his middle school experience, even if only for a year. It gave him a chance to form lasting friendships, enjoy unique learning opportunities, and gain a fresh perspective before moving on to high school. He will continue his education at Saint John’s Jesuit, where he hopes to make the varsity team and create unforgettable experiences over the next four years.
After high school, Abe aims to develop into a mature young man, using his education to shape a future where he can thrive and enjoy life. His advice to younger students is simple but powerful: work hard in school, stay determined, and strive for greatness.
Though his time at West Side was short, Abe will always value the memories and friendships he made. He looks forward to carrying that spirit with him as he moves forward.
