Munir Vafai: A Hidden Diamond By Hadas Friedman

           Like a diamond in the rough, Munir Vafai goes mostly unnoticed by most people, including me, because of his calm and quiet nature. But being quiet does not mean that he is not a lively student that loves his friends and studies. He is from South Carolina, born to a family of native English speakers. His entire childhood was spent there: even his first memory is in South Carolina, playing around in his yard. Munir Vafai is a keen student who favors math and English in school, and succeeds in all of his classes. Despite not having a clear vision on what he wants his future to be and still has no idea of how he wants to pursue his career, Munir already knows for sure that he wants to be remembered as a person who worked toward changing the world and making it better. With the help, nourishment, and education of the most important people in his life, his parents, Munir worked hard to become what he is now. The experiences of his life helps polish him to be the humane and kind hearted human being that he is in the past, present, and future.
