Ahmed, 22, is an English literature graduate who is passionate about both language and the art of writing. Unable to obtain a formal job, he started an English-language tutoring school in his own home for fifth through 12th graders. Born with "dwarfism," Ahmed has been tested repeatedly by individuals who judge him for beng shorter than average. "They considered me to be a weird 'dwarf,' but, in fact, I own the purest soul in the whole world. I am challenging my situation and creating new opportunities to to feed my thirst for knowledge."
