Siavash Fooladian

I am proud to present a new Z-Star, Siavash Fooladian!!  Let me first give you a brief background on our new Z-Star.  Siavash Fooladian is 21 years old, and is currently a senior at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles).  He is majoring in both molecular biology and history, with strong hopes of going to medical school to further his career.

Let us take a look at some of the accomplishments that have earned Siavash a Z-Star recognition. First, he is a Moobediar, which means that he learns Zartoshti prayers, and attends ceremonies to perform those prayers alongside Moobeds. Siavash is keeping the religion alive by teaching the youth our Zartoshti religion in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California.  Siavash also contributes to non-Zoroastrian communities by volunteering as a mentor for inner-city kids, and helping with camps every summer for kids at or below poverty levels.  He also volunteers in the operating room of the UCLA Hospital in Santa Monica, and our Z-Star still finds time to do cancer research on campus.

Siavash has a message to all the Zoroastrian youth out there: “Be true to yourself. Know where your roots are from, because in the long run, that is going to help you figure out who you are, and where you are going to go.”

Congratulations Siavash, on being the Z-Star!! Your dedication to the Zoroastrian religion and to the community is inspiring. Your Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds are certainly not going un-noticed.  We wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.  Keep up the great work!!

If anyone would like to nominate a Z-Star, please email me at fereshteh@CaliforniaZoroastrianCenter.org or  fereshteh@nexgate.net with your nominee’s name, telephone number, email address, and why you believe your nominee is a Z-Star.

Thank you for your participation.
