Iran Nine - Transcription

I was born in Tehran, Iran in 1953, and I raise in Tehran. Uh after graduating from high school, I got married with an Iranian guy. And we came to United State. When I was growing up, uh it was kind of, you know, fun for us, because uh we had a lot of uh, cousins and relatives and friends. And every afternoon, our house, it was full of, you know, guests. And uh, we knew that every day someone is coming to visit us. There's a very famous, uhm, poem. That it said [QUOTES A BRIEF FARSI TEXT], means if you're, uh, smart, and then you can do anything. So it's uh very famous, everybody in Iran, they know this.
