Personal Statement: My Husband

When we were asked to write about someone that we admire I instantly thought about my papa, Massoud who is extremely accomplished and always has good advice to give. He demonstrates scholarship well because he works hard and values education. He was born in Iran, but came to America when he was twenty-eight after finishing college. He graduated at the top of his class and came to the U.S. to finish his residency. Even though it was never easy he worked hard to become a surgeon and to provide for his family. He is always is striving to learn something new, and expand his view on the world. Even at eighty he still speaks and reads Farsi, French, and English fluently, and immerses himself in culture by traveling. He is extremely talented
