How do you feel as a senior?
I’m living every second to the fullest, and never refusing to go out and party.

‘My biggest pet peeve is…”
People who drive slow in the fast lane, absolutely.

If you could change the world, how would you affect it?
I would like to finish medical school and open a free clinic in my home country of Pakistan. I’ve been blessed with so much, and I feel this is the best way to give back to society.

What is being on Class Council really like?
Have you ever watched ‘The Hills”…?

How is growing up Muslim in America?
It is amazing. It helps me keep balance in my life and ground my experiences. I’ve been helping out at the ICR (Islamic Center of Rochester) working with children. It has given me patience, taught me to be humble and it just brings joy to my life.

If you were a girl on campus, who would you be and why?
Janna Gewirtz, because she is so bubbly, fun and always happy.

When is a girl at her sexiest?
When she starts talking about something she is really passionate about. You know if she is very passsionate about one thing, she can be really passionate about others too.
