Name: Mehrzad
Three words to describe yourself: caring, hardworking, fun
Mehrzad was born in Maryland, but moved to Florida, Kansas, and finally Alpharetta, Georiga before moving to Athens for college. His parents are originally from Iran, and they met at a wedding in the States. Mehrzad would like to become a corporate lawyer, so he is pre-law studying Finance and International Business. In his free time, he likes to play ultimate frisbee and soccer and enjoys being active. As a long term goal, Mehrzad wants to leave his mark somewhere, "however big or small." He does not know how he will do this, but he was saying that his uncle started helping poor people in Iran and his efforts turned into a big organization. He has been to Iran before and says the culture is very different, and he has not mastered the language, so "it's hard to carry on a conversation." Mehrzad thinks that he would want to do something similar. For a short-term goal, Mehrzad would like to graduate college within the next two-three years. Melissa (in the picture) is also his girlfriend, and Mehrzad says he "would like the world to know that." His friend, Zainab, says that Mehrzad has the best karma and "is the most kind-hearted, compassionate person ever."
