Omer Cohen

The students at Escuela Internacional Sampedrana are very awesome people. Yet, there are a few of them that are just a little “awesomER.” Such is the case of Omer Cohen, age 17, who is currently a senior at this school. Omer has attended EIS for six years; he transferred from La Lima campus after completing the sixth grade. This student is awesome for many different reasons. To begin with, he is a very amiable person and an exceptional friend. He will most likely help you with anything he can at any time. I admire the way in which he can manage to combine various activities with academics and still achieve good grades. From my personal interactions with Omer, I have found him to be one of the most intelligent people I know, if you don’t believe me, ask him to show you his SAT score. Very impressive.
With every senior struggling with our physics class, Omer uses his knowledge to tutor those of us who are not that ‘physic-ally smart’. Anyway, besides from being a little genius, Omer also has musical inclinations. He loves to play the guitar which he does very well for about a year now. His biggest influences are Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Marley, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N' Roses and Judas Priest. You might want to visit his Youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/salvadordali66) to get a glimpse of what sorta music he is into. You might recognize Omer from talent shows and pep rallies, as he is also part of the school band. After completing his high school studies, Omer plans travel to Israel, his native country and join the army (good riddance) Hopefully, everything turns out well for Omer. When asked what makes him so special he answered: “I eat more than any other person at this school.” Hmmm who would’ve guessed?
Everyone should definitely get to know Omer and the school could surely use more people like him.
