I am proud to present yet another Z-Star, Pouyan Azarshahri!!  Pouyan is a 17 year old junior in high school, with a G.P.A of...are you ready…4.3!! His top two choices for college are UCLA and UCSD. I guess it’s safe to say that this Z-Youth has some brains!!  But it doesn’t just stop there. 

Pouyan shows appreciation and dedication to the arts.  He has been playing the piano for over 3 ˝ years.  He has also taken up playing both the Santoor and Tonbak for a year now.  His specialty is playing Persian music in all three musical instruments.

Pouyan has shown a lot of dedication to the California Zoroastrian Center.  He makes it a point to attend as many Zoroastrian functions as he can.  But he isn’t always just on the sidelines enjoying the show….sometimes, he is the show!  Pouyan plays his instruments on stage for various events, bringing smiles to the faces of everyone witnessing his talent. Pouyan also performs dances on stage – he is part of a dance group called Bandari Boys. Each year, for Tavalodeh Zartosht, the Bandari Boys perform a dance to liven up the celebration.

I asked Pouyan what his message is to the Zoroastrian youth, and this is what he said: “Follow your dreams and be an individual”.  Well, it seems like Pouyan is following his dreams, and he’s on his way to making them come true!! And while interviewing Pouyan, he let me in on one dream of his: to one day drive a Lamborghini Diablo!

Read Pouyan's article,  in our "Youth" or "Educations" article section.

Thank you for your participation.
