Introduction- Said Shah

My name is Said Shah and my story originated in Queens, New York. I am seventeen years of age and enjoy playing basketball. I work as a deli man at my uncles supermarket in College Point. Many days I enjoy to go to the gym and get my mind off the real world. My major is computer engineering and I also want to have my own store as well as getting my degree. My family is originally from Kabul, Afghanistan. However, it’s not all sunshine and roses.

My parents left me with my grandparents at the age of eleven and haven’t seen them since. many obstacles and challenges came along my way, but some are blessings and some are lessons. At the end of the day I was able to get my own house at the age of seventeen and moved my brother out along side with me. I have a goal and ambition to build an empire my family could not.
