My name is Abdullah Altoukhi. I come from a humble family of four. My father, Khaled, my mother , Areej and a lovely little sister whom i adore , Mira. I am a huge soccer fan, i have unbelievable love for this sport. Although i'm not that good in playing it, but it is my favorite to watch. My favorite soccer club is FC Barcelona. I have been a huge fan of Barcelona for many many years. Aside to soccer, i love playing basketball. I have been playing basketball since the tender age of 10 years old.
The story of me coming to the united states to study , began when i received my 11th grade report card. At the time i had finished my 11th year with an average of 84%. I told my parents while giving them the report that i wanted to study abroad. They asked me where ? I responded with " The land and home of the brave". My parents laughed for a couple of seconds, then told me that they would think about it. The next day my parents walked up to my room and told me with great detail that if i was to leave to study abroad i should have a 99% average in my senior year. I tried decreasing the requested percentage but they were determined to stick to 99#. The following year, i put my mind to it , lifted my grades up, stopped partying, and graduated with 98% average. My parents agreed to send me to the states with great pleasure and relief, even though i did not fully complete their task.
I truly believe this is what i was destined for, and this is what's better for me, no matter how hard it gets. I am really excited for what is coming towards me. I am ambitious and ready to go.
