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.”
He has shown great dedication and love for marketing and furthering his education. He consistently volunteers and works hard to continue his learning in these areas. Mohammad is a hardworking, trustworthy person who will be a perfect choice for any job, university, or scholarship. Today as an alumnus of the STEP UP program, Mohammad runs a successful business called, “Mr. Marketer” with sixty-eighty plus clients, of which three of his clients are Jordan Jewelers, Dutch Tree Service and Dawn’s Lawncare.
