He’s definitely a great guy. Y’know, one of my proudest moments was, when he was in the fifth grade, one of his teachers, in the end-of-year parent teacher meeting, made a point of telling me “He’s a such wonderful person.” And, the three teachers there chimed in with examples.

Now, I’m just bragging with this next revelation… He began a locally prestigious magnate high school last week where he was also accepted in their nationally prestigious Health Sciences Academy with ties to Duke Med and Wake Med in NC. The academy is kind of like pre pre-med school. Most of his freshman classes are AP classes. He can even earn college credits toward pre-med. And, when he graduates, he’ll already be qualified to start working as an EMT Assistant – which gives him a field related job to work at while in medical school.

Of course, having his son on a path to become a doctor is another very Persian dad thing! :D
