May this message find everyone in the best of health and spirit.
As the blessed and proud parents of 2 wonderfully gifted, and high achieving children, Ahmad and Maisa, we wanted to share some exciting news with you! Both of our children began their stellar academic careers at Muhammad University of Islam from Pre-School throughout their 8th grade years.
Our son, Ahmad, is currently a junior at Providence St. Mel School in Chicago. This year his schedule was packed, and included an English Honors class, an AP Chemistry course, and an AP History course. He has maintained Honor Roll status all 3 quarters and we look forward to another A Honor Roll certificate this last quarter. He is 15 years old, and at the age of 14 last September, took the ACT for the first time, and scored a 28. He has not applied to any colleges yet, but because of his scores we have so many letters from various (prestigious) colleges and universities inviting him to attend their college. It's amazing! He recently took the ACT again 2 weeks ago, and scored a 29!
 Ah mad wants to be a marine biologist, and has been given the opportunity of a lifetime through his school to travel to Barcelona, Spain this summer. He will be there for one month studying abroad. They have a great program which will help to secure and enhance his college goals. We are asking friends and family for their support in helping us to make this trip a reality.
We have attached Ahmad's essay, his acceptance letter (below), his transcript, and the invoice for tuition to this amazing Oxbridge Academic Summer Program ( www.oxbridgeprograms.com) - La Academia de Barcelona. The tuition for this program is normally $7,900.00, but due to scholarships from his school and the program itself, it has been lowered tremendously.
The total cost for this amazing trip is $5,200.00. This will include $1700 for the airfare, $2900 for the tuition, and $600 spending money (which includes lunch for 30 days which is not included in the program).
Although our pride almost got in the way of reaching out and asking for help-we ultimately cannot allow our son to miss this awesome opportunity without trying all paths to meet the goal. If you are interested and able to help us get Ahmad to Spain please reply to this email or call us at our numbers listed below. Because we know that the internet is not the safest place for sensitive money matters, per the phone call we will give you the information needed to assist.
We understand that times are difficult for some, and don't want you to feel pressured to give what you don't have nor what you are not comfortable to give; but if you are able to assist us in any way with any amount in this huge endeavor, we would be ever so grateful. We hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
May God continue to bless you.
Nikki (Nicole) & Mark (Ahmad) Muhammad
