Fact

In middle school, Akhtar placed first in his school spelling bee and advanced to the final round of the district spelling bee. With the pressure on, he was one word away from making it to the state competition. His dreams were foiled when he misspelled peony. To date, he cannot bear the site of peonies and refuses to let his wife Sarah plant any in their garden.
