Saeed in Canada
| 15:05 UK time, Monday, 22 January 2007
My name is Saeed Jahed. I was born 23 years ago in the small city of Bojnourd in Iran. Then, 14 years later, I immigrated to Canada with my parents.
Earlier this year I graduated from a computer science and mathematics program, not knowing what the next step in my life would be.
For now, I do freelance consulting work. I also still do a maths proof or two to keep my maths skills sharp. Now I'm thinking: should I go back to school for graduate studies in mathematics? Should I start my own consulting business? Should I start my own NGO? Should I start over and study journalism?
Anyways.
One day, frustrated at getting too many local news items, and too few international ones, I tuned-in (via the internet) to the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's World Service. I come in for the news, I stay for the documentaries.
While I'm almost always amazed by how Ö÷²¥´óÐã program's like World Have Your Say break distance barriers by bringing in virtually unfiltered and direct opinions from people all around the world, I still wonder if the Ö÷²¥´óÐã can also break the language barrier, by bringing in people that don't speak English in to the World Have Your Say discussion.
I really appreciate the work you guys do at World Service, Saeed
P.S. I'm always writing on .
