I was born in Iran, and as a young student I joined the masses of protesters in the streets of Tehran in 1979 shouting 'Death to America.' But I have grown to love America and what this blessed nation stands for. In 1982 I became a dual citizen and began studying at the University of Southern California. Over the past four decades,, my love for the U.S. has grown. My heart is grieved when natural-born citizens hate America and blame her for the world’s problems.
love America because it is the land of religious freedom.American citizens have unbelievable freedom to explore and practice their religion. The founders saw that and built those freedoms into the core documents when creating this nation. This nation is where my life was transformed by Christian faith. I was born a Muslim in Iran and was devout in my early years, practicing the five pillars. But in my teenage years, I found religious activity alone was futile, empty and useless.
love America because it is the land of opportunities.Here in America, you can dream and work to make your dreams come true. This country gave me an opportunity and provided support to pursue my educational dream: earning a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence and becoming a research scientist in that field. Also, after my conversion to Christianity I desired to grow spiritually and pursue a seminary education.
love America because it has blessed the world with its technology. America has been a source of great innovation from which the entire world has benefited. Americans invented the light bulb, the automobile and airplanes, etc. More recently, this land of freethinkers made technological advances that have improved life all over the world, including business and personal computing, the very Internet you’re reading this on, medicine and medical technology, education, AI and so many others.
