Introduction

I am Umar Muhammad Sheikh. Though jobbing is not the most significant part of my life yet, I can describe it in complete detail right now. This is my first day at AboutUs, and so far, the first hour has not yet expired. Period! My first task is to write my own second home page. The first one I made was in the first introductory computer science course, and I made it for getting a good grade. This is not much different!

Interests

Religion

Islam
