Laith Salma

Laith Salma is a student studying in New York City. He is, however, somewhat outside of the norm. Unlike most students who were born in the city and are going to the city colleges as a default, he is actually all the way from Saudi Arabia.

What's even more striking about this young man is that he is precisely that - he is a younger gentleman, barely out of his teens. You wouldn't expect him of enduring round after round of classes for being his age. But that's what he wants more than anything else. He loves to learn.

It's something that's been a part of him since the beginning. As a child, he showed a distinct aptitude for learning and he excelled in the classroom. Eventually, however, even the most advanced classes proved to be no challenge for him. His father, a distinguished gentleman in the oil industry, set Salma up with a tutor, but eventually even this proved to be futile.

Rather than squander the gift, his father decided to send him overseas, and Laith Salma picked New York as the place he wanted to go. The rest, as they say, is history.
