Iran Eight - Transcription
I was born in Tehran, in a middle class family. My mom never worked. My mom was, um, at home and we were six children just, um, going to school and having lots of fun. And by the time I.I went college there, I studied English literature and by the time I finished college, I met Nick and um we married well I came here and then I went back home and then we married and came back here in 1978. One thing that I think I was very, very young it was amazing um sometimes you remember some spots in your life: I remember we were in a live theatre, with my mom and my older sister and um my mom my dad and brother and my older sister, there were just three kids at the time. And I believe I was under three years old.that's what my mom said. And I remember that um I saw something was funny and I started clapping. And my sister was so excited that she grabbed me and she kissed me and she never did that before and I was so surprised that she kissed me. And I remember when I told my mom and she said to me that you were probably one or one and a half years old. In Iran learning English was very British and French, because many of the teachers were French.
