Blog Bio 

My name is Mitra, and I'm from Iran. I moved here three years ago from Turkey. I lived about three years in Turkey and had a really good experience living there. I loved that country so much that I'm planning on going back and spending more time in there later on. But I have to finish schooling first if I want to live there for a while. I'm still going to visit though, sometime soon. I started attending Phoenix College a year after I got here, and I'm almost done with my associate. Now, It's time to decide about my career.

I really like doing research, but I never had the opportunity to do one before. I have a little bit of engineering background, so all I was doing was about math and physics and never really biology or anything from that kind. After having my first biology class, I started feeling even more interested in research, and it's kind of tilting my mind towards research as a career. When my family is here I'll be having more peace of mind, and that will help me to think more clear and eventually decide what I want to do with research. I'm from a big family and have four more siblings. They will be all here next year. I can't wait to see them again. They are so supportive and loving, and I'm blessed that I get to have them around me again.

I want to share a picture that I took from a stream that was running behind my house in turkey.
