Hello!!!! I think I’m a little late to this whole thing but oh well. This entire post is some (random) stuff about me which you may or may not find interesting. I guess I should start by introducing myself; My name’s Sara, I’m 16 years old (soon to be 17 yee) my last name is Kaikavousi which is too long and hard for most people to pronounce so I usually ask them to go with the first three letters: Kai (literally just pronounced like the letter K).
A lot of people also wonder what my last name even means (you probably didn’t tho). To make it short, Kaikavous is the name of a king from a book called Shahnameh. The book is written by the infamous Persian poet by the name of Ferdowsi. If you haven’t figured by now, I’m Persian. Both my parents were born and raised in the country of Iran, although my sister and I were born in America. During the first few years of my life, my mom, sister, and I lived in Chicago but we had to move back to Iran cause of my dad’s job. Even tho my family and I would constantly re-visit the US, I was never really familiar with it’s people or had any friends besides my other relatives who live here. So that’s why this year was a huge (and difficult) change for me. We decided its finally time to move to America once and for all so my sister and I could hopefully have better opportunities for the future. This is my first year in an American school system so I really hope I can find my place like everyone else.
I’ve always been a cat person and have basically grown up with them, so of course I brought my cat, Makhmal (means velvet if you’re curious), all the way across the globe with me. Was he stressed? Yes. Was I stressed? Also Yes. Do I regret it? Nope. We actually took him in from a shelter and later found out his previous owners had abused him and kept him locked up so he’s a bit shy and anti-social but he’s come such a long way (literally).
As far as my future plans go, I wanna get into NYU and become a criminal lawyer cause its been something I’ve been into and been passionate about for as long as I can remember. I’m also really into music of all sorts and do a little bit of singing here and there but I don’t really see that kind of stuff as my future career.
That’s honestly all I can think of about myself. Hopefully It wasn’t too boring, thanks for taking the time to “get to know meee” (◕‿◕✿) <—— ( I went through a lot to find these weird emojis and my old photos so please enjoy )
