As told by: Taha Parvizi

Born on January 5th, 2005 in Tabriz, Iran, Taha Parvizi is an only child that lives with his two parents, Mojtaba Parvizi and Sanam Ebtehaj. At a young age, his parents decided that they wanted to take a risk so that their son could have the opportunity to get a better life. They set out to move to the United States. "Their whole goal was to move to the U.S. for me to be successful" said Taha who compared his life to the many lives of bright children in Iran that are "stuck in Iran" due to the lack of opportunities. Since moving, Taha has made friends all over the world and is passionate about school and the many different sports that he plays, especially swimming where he is currently swimming for the Needham High School Varsity team.
