For my story, I will profile Minhaj Khaled, a first-generation American who grew up in Jamaica, Queens. Both of his parents are from Bangladesh. He is legally blind so for him, something that is 20 ft away appears to be 400 ft away. In spite of this handicap, he maintains an enormous enthusiasm for life, never complains, and is one of those people that you want to be around. I want to find out about his upbringing and how the values and culture of his parents in combination with those of his surroundings affected who he is today.
