don’t want to think about death‚ we live in a death denying culture. Few individuals truly grasp the concept of death and how it can distort the lives of the people it comes in contact with. I was among the naïve until right before my senior year of High School. I lived a life where I wasn’t worried about the future let alone death; I was worried about the present and what I had now.

I spent most of my days skating after school until dark only to come home to my parents screaming at me to throw my board in the trash. Coming from Bangladesh‚ my parents always wanted me to

If I had to pick one achievement that I have done to make my community a better place‚ it would be about my basketball team when I was in the high school.
