After I finished high school, which is equivalent to the UK’s A-levels, I tried to get into Tehran University. At the time, the entrance test was becoming more difficult, and competition was increasing. I was offered a place in modern European history, which was one of the options I had ticked on the form. However, I had hoped to study mathematics, nuclear physics, or engineering. Otherwise, I would have had to accept conscription and join the army. I was weighing my options when I saw an advert in a national newspaper (I think it was Kyhaun) about joining the Air Force as a pilot. It seemed like a good way out of a dilemma I was facing.

I have worked with and supported several charitable organisations, including SOVA, Community Options, Shaw Trust and the NHS, that promote mental health, educate the public and assist people in overcoming adversity and misfortune.  My voluntary engagements have helped me reach out to the community, contribute a little and hopefully make a small difference.  As a result, I have made good friends, learned new skills, and, more importantly, gained a warm sense of connection and belonging.
