Behind -
- I graduated high school but felt behind compared to other students.  I had no plans and one question in mind.  What do I do next?

My Only Friend -
- During my high school years, my biology teacher was my only friend, a mentor someone I looked up to, and I appreciated him explaining the new culture.

First Job in America -
- The young immigrant boy finds a job to do, and I was excited to work in America, which was a step in the right direction.  

Invisible Boy -
- I was invisible to other high school kids, and as an outsider, I saw them, but they didn't see me.  

A New Culture -
- A new way of life was upon us in this new land called America.  As an immigrant boy, I had to learn what I needed to do, so I wasn't behind.

A New Land -
- America was the far fantasy land that we were dreaming of while we lived in Pakistan, and finally, that dream was to become a reality. We were one of the lucky families.

Waheed -
- My father figure an Afghan man that noticed my head was down most of the times as if he knew the traumas that I was carrying as a child.   Hope.
