Puzzled looks usually follow when Royal Palm Beach High School valedictorian Salim Moutaouakkil tells family and friends his career goal to become an elected official.
“Yes, I know politics is negative. But if we don’t enact changes we will disintegrate as a society,” said Salim, 18, a resident of Royal Palm Beach.
He wants to be a U.S. senator or state attorney general. Before that Salim plans on attending the University of Florida. He plans to major in political science and minor in economics.
Not only is Salim the first person in his family to leave home to attend college, but he also expects to be the first to run for office.
