While his classmates worried about weekend plans, Amani studied Heerenveen's defensive patterns.
Friday afternoon at St. Bonifatius College brought the familiar end-of-week energy as students discussed weekend activities, teachers assigned last-minute homework, and the collective anticipation of temporary freedom from academic obligations.
For most fifteen-year-olds, the weekend represented leisure, social opportunities, perhaps part-time work or family commitments.
For Amani Hamadi, it meant his second Eredivisie match in the season.
In the school library's small study room, Amani reviewed his literature essay one final time before submission.
The paper analyzed thematic parallels between classical and modern Dutch literature, a challenging assignment that had required careful time management amid his professional commitments.
