Stories written by Jude El Buri
You may look at her and see a lovely young lady trying to conquer the world peacefully and with dignity; however, Jude El Buri is a RBHS student with many talents that are hidden intricately between layers of protective gear. In all actuality you can only find out her mysterious talents if you enter her heart. But the good news is that you don't suffer the painless journey, you’re going to find out right now. In her free time Jude enjoys the occasional hardcore rapping session where she will go all out spurting out the words Tupac, Mos Def, Eminem, and the Notorious B.I.G. She will wake up at 8:00 p.m. and eat breakfast on Saturday evenings and stay up obsessing over cheesy infomercials and funny SNL shorts (which she has memorized). She is a master at the art of interpretive dancing, and the creator of the single person dance party. She has 74 hits on her secret video on YouTube, promoting her short film “The Creeper.” But most importantly the Beatles named their hit “Hey Jude” about her... Jude Abdelmunsif El Buri, the one and only, who can take a sad song, and make it better.
