When Parsa Zareiesfandabadi was 16, his parents urged him to leave his native country of Iran because, as a member of the Baháʼí faith, he would be barred from attending higher education institutions there.
He and his cousin, who was also 16 at the time (they were born just five days apart), headed to Turkey, where Zareiesfandabadi went to the U.N. Embassy to begin the process for finding a country that would take him as a refugee. After nearly three years, at age 19, he arrived in the United States, after an uncle living in Chapel Hill said he would sponsor his nephew. Zareiesfandabadi’s parents were able to visit him in Turkey before he left for the United States, but he has not seen them now in more than a decade.
