People Who Deserve Admiration Anoushe Raisian is a person who I admire. Anoushe is the name of a Persian woman. She was born in Mashhad, which is a city of Iran, in 1966. When she was a child, she used to look at the stars, and her dream was to fly into the sky. Her childhood was spent in Iran. She moved with her family to the U.S. when she was 17 years old. When she came to the U.S., she enrolled in highschool, and got her diploma. After graduating from highschool, she registered at George Washington University. She got her bachelor degree in electronic engineering. She worked for some big companies, such as Comsat and MCI. While she was an employee of these companies, she did some profitable and successful projects. When she was working for MCI company, she met Hamid Ansari, who was her colleague. After one year, they got married and she changed her family name to Ansari. They founded a company in Texas. Quickly, the company became a valuable company. She received the award for the best entrepreneur of the United States in 2000. There were many companies which wanted to buy their company’s shares. Finally, they sold that, and founded a new and more advanced company. Anousheh had many successes, but her goal was to fly to the stars. Finally, in 2005, she traveled to space as the first woman in space. She says watching stars and walking outside are her favorite activities. Basketball is her favorite sport. After returning from space, she founded a charity with her brother-in-law. It was called Ahura Foundation, which is a Persian name. Anousheh received many awards in her life. I admire her, but not for her awards. I admire her hard work to achieve her goal. Traveling to space is a hardship job, but she did that to achieve her goal. She is a woman who thinks about people's lives, so she founded a charity. I admire her because she is a hard worker, and a smart and determined woman. Arezoo is in the Advanced ESL evening class
