How it started
Hello! My name is Ashkon, and I am a first-generation Iranian immigrant from an Iranian family. My mom and dad had the intellectual mindset to come to America for college opportunities. My mom luckily did not have the struggle to pay the application fee, however by dad did. Since he was a very smart and talented student, his professor paid it in full. Had it not been for the professor, I do not know where I would be right now. After hearing my dads story, I had the initiative to start a non-profit dedicated to helping not only Iranian students, but international students
About me
I am a varsity tennis player, Tedx youth speaker, club leader at Torrey Pines High School, and science olympiad member. All these experiences constantly make me grow and become the person I am today. I am currently a junior in high school, looking to get into a good college after high school.
