When asked how Amir felt in the moment, he responded, “It kinda felt like gravity didn’t exist anymore. When I saw the congratulations. I threw my phone on the seat and jumped out of the car.”

“Morehouse is a place where you can go to find a whole bunch of Black men with the same goal. It’s a school with a lot of positive male influence,” Amir added. “And it’s cool to be smart. And what do they say? We’re young, gifted and Black.”

According to Chestnut Hill Local, Amir wishes to study sociology with the goal of one day becoming a social worker to help other troubled families.

“My life goal is I want to be a positive impact on anybody I encounter in life,” Amir said.

Christopher Booth of Mt. Airy, former president of the Philadelphia Morehouse Alumni Association, said, “I am very excited for him. It’s not just about the academics at Morehouse, [which is an all-male school]. It’s the whole experience. It’s like a fraternity, and when you walk out, you really feel empowered.”

You can donate to Amir’s college fund on GoFundMe.
