Both my life and his are very different right now, but reading about his life and the things he endured both scares me and brings excitement. The thought of leaving my family and everything I know to go live in a foreign place doesn't exactly sound like something I would volunteer for, but doing the will of God and meeting new people interests me like nothing else.

Although I had already talked to one of my classmates about having interview with her as a Caucasian woman, I decided to do it with my cousin’s friend, Jacob, who I met in my place for the first time during Thanksgiving holidays. Interviewing Jacob about his interactions with other cultures has made me realize that I have a lot to learn about the meaning of the privilege and holding it. Jacob was a 24-year-old Caucasian, who lived in Missouri his entire life. Though he was visiting California for the second time in his life, he was in a Persian house for the first time.…

But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help.
