He raised $5,945.00 for the school’s DECA club and in-house food pantry for the homeless. He wrote a thirty-page paper on this project and presented to judges at the State Competition in March 2018. I am extremely proud of all of the hard work he put into this project with his partners.”

Mohammad is a hardworking, trustworthy person who will be a perfect choice for any job, university, or scholarship.
