Colleges are always asking for creativity when reading these personal statements for possible incoming students. Most times, the more creative you get the better your chances are of locking down your spot for the incoming school year.

Teen-activist Ziad Ahmed of New Jersey just took personal statements to a whole new level. When filling out his application to Stanford University, he was asked, "What matters to you, and why?" Ahmed responded back with the only statement that made the most sense to him: #BlackLivesMatter.

"I was actually stunned when I opened the update and saw that I was admitted. I didn’t think I would get admitted to Stanford at all, but it’s quite refreshing to see that they view my unapologetic activism as an asset rather than a liability,” Ahmed said in an email to Mic. 

Ziad Ahmed is currently a senior at Princeton Day School and no stranger to standing up for what he believes in. Back in 2015, he was given the opportunity to sit down with President Obama on behalf of his anti-bias organization and as a youth member of the 'Not in Our Town Princeton' board. He was chosen for this dinner because he had transformed the negative experience of being targeted, as a child, for the "do not fly" list by founding ReDefy, to "defy stereotypes and redefine our perspectives positively."

Ahmed explained to Mic that his "unapologetic progressivism" is a central part of his identity and wanted to represent that in his college application. His Islamic faith and his commitment to justice are one in the same and he would not be a good Muslim if he turned a blind eye to the injustices people face on a daily especially the black community.

“To me, to be Muslim is to be a BLM ally, and I honestly can’t imagine it being any other way for me,” Ahmed said. “Furthermore, it’s critical to realize that one-fourth to one-third of the Muslim community in America are black … and to separate justice for Muslims from justices for the black community is to erase the realities of the plurality of our community.”

In addition to Stanford, Ahmed has already been accepted to both Yale and Princeton. He has until May 1 to decide which school to attend but no matter what he goes or majors in, we can already see he's going to do big things.
