"Teeron! Teeron!" My cousins waved me over. While everyone else was fascinated by the larger-than-life M60 tanks lined up outside, pointing their turrets towards the museum's entrance, the ten-year-old me was captivated by the plaques detailing the horrors of the Iran-Iraq War. Why did this happen? Could it happen again? How can we prevent it? At the dinner table, my parents provided some answers, by traveling back in time to the Iranian Revolution and pan-Islamism, helping me realize how much these events have and will affect my family. My interest in the subject of history is rooted in wanting to connect past and present events and analyzing their future implications.
This is what compelled me to join my school's Model United Nations (UN) club, where I learned how to propose resolutions that built upon history instead of going against it. Assessing the historical reasons behind Uruguay's revitalized workforce and growing economy was one of my favorite parts of the Berkeley Model UN conference. I used this knowledge to author a bill that aimed to improve social services in developing countries, a core component for their economic vitality.
These experiences and knowledge of history have helped me to succeed in other ventures such as Vote16 San Mateo County, a campaign to lower the voting age in county-wide elections. The campaign's success has been in part due to exploring the historical rationale for the current age limit. When proposing our legislation to local politicians such as the Mayor of Redwood City, Diane Howard, explaining Reagan's dilemma which resulted in the voting age being lowered to 18 from 21, gave me credibility and made her more inclined to give us her endorsement.
Courses taken at school have also facilitated my growth in this academic interest; inspired by what I was learning in my U.S foreign policy history class, I began to write a research paper analyzing the extent to which the U.S. has been successful in its nonproliferation strategy towards Iran. In this way, I have taken my learning into my own hands, and applied my knowledge to various projects.
