00:20I was a delivery rider, fresh from Kerala, determined to make it.

00:27I was a young man from Syria, with nothing but a dream and ambition.

00:37One day I received news that would change my life forever.

00:41I was the first delivery rider at McDonald's UAE who was promoted to restaurant manager.
