Do vou think people spend too much money on weddings in your country?
- Yes I do. But I completely agree with the concept of holding a wedding in the way one loves but these days people prefer to start their new life in debt than have a small wedding.
Is the divorce rate high in your country?
- yes the divorce rate in my country is extremely high and some people believe the growth in the divorce rate is because Couples don’t see divorce as a bad thing anymore but I believe it’s because society failed to provide a livable situation.

Describe your family?
To begin with my family has got 4 members including me, my parents and my younger sister.
First let’s talk about my mother.she is the sweetest person and the kindest the closest family member to me . She is creative, helpful and loving in nature. She used to work as a laboratory technician but she is retired now.
Then there is My father the most pure hearted and hardworking man i have ever known . He is a great mentor for all of us. He has the same job as my mother. He is our inspiration and guide. He cares and loves all of us and holds himself responsible for our family’s well-being. He loves travelling and that’s why we have travelled a lot with him. He is our hero, friend and mentor.
And finally My younger sister who is ten years younger than me. Despite this major age difference she is my soul mate.
She sometimes annoys me but more often inspires me. She is my co-worker in everything unusual or out-of-the-routine thing I do.
I feel most comfortable and blessed being with my family members and I am lucky to have such a happy family in which everyone cares and supports each other.
A person you admire?
I admire many people in my life mostly because I find something special in them that is rare and can’t be found in many people. It could be their personality achievement or etc.
The person that I’m going to write about is my best friend
Sara. We met about twenty years ago and she had become my best friend since then. We’ve been together through school, collage, university and literally all of our important life challenges.
She is now a chief executive officer in a tech company in New York and recently started her own local business. But the thing that I really admire about this person is her strong and giving personality. She fought against her strict family for what she knew was right and overcame all obstacles in her way with effort and hard work. Another precious ethic of hers was that she had always been a giver. Even now she donates big deal of her money to charities. In the past three years she found shelters for over a hundred homeless people and sent a thousand of children in need to school. She didn’t need to dedicate herself to good wills but she did it because of her pure heart and all this sacrifices didn’t interfere with her personal life and her success. And in my opinion we need more of this kind of characters in the world.
