How it started: Me & my twin bro Mo are forced to leave our parents behind in Lebanon due to the terrible situation over there & arrive in the UK at the age of 17. We both start working full-time in a supermarket stacking shelves. People laugh in our faces when we say it is our dream to become doctors.
