It all started when my dad gave me his favorite childhood story book.

It was a Persian fairy tale about a guy who could be whatever he desired. And from that day on, began my journey of dreaming. I dreamt of things every kid in school dreams of - ranging from being an astronaut to being the coolest kid in college.

    Personal Statement Almost everyone had a rod in hand as they walked through the main street headed for the pier or docks to try and reel in a tasty morsel for dinner.
