I feel blessed to have been given numerous opportunities in the area of leadership because many of the memorable successes I have had in life stem from taking full advantage of such chances. One such event dates back to my senior year in high school in Iran.

All the painstaking work we had done boiled down to this trying moment. As I looked around, I could see the exhaustion and hope on my teammates’ faces.
