Mohamed Kilani was born to Iraqi parents in Amman, Jordan where he lived until his family got resettled in the US. He arrived in Portland, Maine as a nine year old in 2009.
Mo adapted to his new world quickly. He watched Ellen on TV until he mastered the American accent. Everyday he uses his hard-won work ethic to succeed at everything he does. He is profoundly grateful to his family for their shared insight into how to appreciate humanity, work hard and love one another well, regardless of how hard that can be to do at times.
Presently, Mo is a freshman at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine and when he earns his bachelor's degree he plans to stay in Maine to contribute to the community in substantial ways, understanding life from many different perspectives.
