Bio Brief: My name is Zahra and I was born in Tehran, Iran. I left my country when I was 4 years old with my parents and because of my father’s job, we traveled to several countries. The countries which I have lived in so far are Iran, Zimbabwe, Switzerland, Sweden, Mauritius Island, Canada and finally The United States.
I learned about CSS while I was living in Mauritius Island with my family. The International Student recruiter, Mr. Tom Homan told my parents about The College of St. Scholastica at a college fair and my parents encouraged me to apply. I was accepted to the program I was interested in and received a scholarship, which made me decide to come to CSS in Duluth, rather than continuing my studies in Canada.
