Bio

My name is Aref Ahmed! I'm 18 and I live in New York, though my family is originally from Bangladesh. I have a lot of ambition and I've always been one willing to do things that people will claim are impossible or unrealistic. I choose not to be discouraged and rather use this to push me forward towards my goal. I have a sense of community in me that drives me to be selfless, and to serve the world as a whole. There's a lot of work to be done to serve the world, as the world still suffers from pain and hatred. It is the role of strong-willed individuals to help lead others in the face of darkness towards peace. And I firmly believe in myself. So if there is such a thing as peace, I will reach it! I will never give up!
