Sophomore Mohamed Ahmed celebrates his fourth birthday on February 29 because he born on a leap year.

What is the most common question you get on your birthday?

People ask me if I am four years old or if I am sixteen. I am sixteen years old, but I have only had four birthdays.

How do you feel every year when your birthday is not on the calendar?

I feel really unique to be born on a day that only happens once every four years, but it gets annoying sometimes because I want to have a normal birthday.

On the years the calendar does not have your birthday what do you do to celebrate?

My family usually celebrates with me on February 28 instead of March 1. We do the regular birthday activities that everyone else does just a day early.

What is your favorite birthday memory?

My favorite memory would be from sixth grade when I turned twelve. All my friends came over to my house and we had a party and we ate cake with three candles on it.

How will you be celebrating this year?

This year I turn four so we will put four candles on the cake.
