DESCRIBE YOUR CHILDHOOD/GROWING YEARS
When I think about my childhood I remember how my Mom and Dad made sure that Me and my sister learn language, play sports, get good grades and respect our elders. Most of my time during childhood went in learning different activities. I remembered I was engaged in dance, music, different types of sports and painting. At a tender age of 8 I succeeded in participating in the provincial basketball competition, when I was 9 I received 3 medals in the field of skating, at the age of 11 I won the first place in my province in scientific ability tests, at 12 I managed to get the position of the school student council, at 13 I was in the national painting competition by organizing 3 painting galleries in the City Center of Isfahan in Iran. With all these activities I didn't really realized how fast I grew up. Now that I think of I want to thank my Parents that they got me into all these activities and made be self-sufficient.
WHAT IS YOUR MEMORABLE MOMENT?
Actually not 1 but 2 memorable moments I had in my life so far. I immigrated when I was a teenager and I tried my best to succeed and get accepted in university and study languages. I realized that if there is a goal or a desire that we want to have in our life by working hard for it we will earn it. I made continuous efforts for years to succeed in the field of pharmacy, and in 2020, I passed the entrance exam with a high score and I was able to get into one of the best health and science university in Istanbul. This was the 1st most memorable moment for me and the 2nd was seeing my picture on Miss Earth Page, representing Iran was my long long dream and I am proud that I would be the 1st Iranian Female who would be coming to participate at Miss Earth.

WHAT IS THE MOST UNUSUAL THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE?

WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY?
The fact that Iran is one of the oldest nations in the world, with a history dating back tens of thousands of years with history of rich architecture, literature, cultural encounters, traditional foods, makes me feel proud of my roots. Iran, formerly known as Persia, is situated at the crossroads of Central Asia, South Asia and the Arab states of the Middle East.This strategic position and its access to the Persian Gulf in the south have made Iran an important country throughout its history which is something to be proud of.
