Hi, I’m Amir.

Growing up, school wasn’t easy for me. I had a speech impediment, and I struggled with reading and math. A lot of people didn’t expect much from me academically—and honestly, there were times I started to believe them.

But I knew I wanted more for myself. So I worked hard. Really hard. I stayed after school, asked for help, studied when everyone else was relaxing, and kept pushing—even when it felt impossible.

All that work paid off.

I graduated high school with a 4.2 GPA, made the Honor Roll all four years, and became a proud member of the National Honor Society. I was honored with the Outstanding Leadership Award, the Campus Ministry Award, and the achievement

I’m most proud of:


I received a $240,000 academic scholarship to college—

the only student in my class to do so.

My journey hasn’t been perfect, but every challenge helped shape me into who I am today: focused, faithful, and determined to keep going no matter what.

If you’re going through something tough right now, I hope my story reminds you that where you start doesn’t have to be where you finish.

5 Things About Me

At just 3 weeks old, I survived after having my heart and lungs shut off for 10 days while on ECMO treatment.

The doctors said I would never be able to hear well or speak well.

My left arm doesn’t work well, but somehow, I’ve been able to excel in swimming and basketball.

I love to dance (especially bopping with D-Low)
