Hamida Shahab

Philadelphia High School For Girls Class of 2011

PHILADELPHIA, PA

www.zinch.com/hamida-shahab

I'm really interested in photography and education, so that's probably what I'll major in. I am an activist for animals 24/7 and hope to do something with animals as my life progresses. I feel as though I have a keen sense of what others are feeling, something no one else seems to notice. I take things lightly and remember that everything happens for a reason. I'm extremely politically aware and I hope to see this world change for the better, very soon. I love the outdoors, and want to someday backpack across Europe. Lastly, I have a passion for music, mainly Indie, Acoustic, and World.
