Xi Yin 25 DAILY ICCV Wednesday Iranian girls are so good in STEM! About 60 percent of university graduates are female. That's what I know. You can double check. When you are in the STEM field, you have higher chances to migrate. That's why probably you see more of them abroad. The STEM field is highly valued. My parents never forced me, but I know that my dad wanted me to be a doctor. But I had blood phobia. I couldn’t even stay in the biology class. I was good in math, so I was like “I think I want to be an engineer!” But I'm glad my brother did that and made him happy! What will you always bring with you of Iran? What stays with you forever? The poet that I love, Hafiz. Yeah, I have a book with me. Digital versions of photos from my childhood and my parents. I also brought a couple of special things like clothes or gifts. For some people it might not make sense, but for me I just want to keep them! Your message to the community. I am very grateful for this community. I just want to say that I hope we could have more opportunity to be involved more in the community. I'm sure there must be some way but I would like it to be easier and more affordable.

I started doing that in Cleveland, but I really miss Boston.
