I'm having a love affair with myself!

About Me

My parents named me Mandana, after a Persian Princess, but I am also a warrior at heart. If I could describe myself in one word it would be passionate. I truly believe that passion is the key ingredient in life to help you fulfill your dreams. Whatever I do I try to give it my all, and to never regret decisions that I've made. I believe in the power of destiny yet I also believe in the control that each of us has in our own fate. I'm totally in love with my family and have been instilled with the importance of integrity, loyalty, sincerity, and a zest for life. I've lived in Germany for 15 years after leaving Iran at the age of one and then we moved to the states. This experience in my life has allowed me to appreciate all types of people. Moving around so much has made me realize that there are always things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. BUT keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world, it's the beginning of a new life. I have learned that: LIFE IS NOT FAIR - GET USED TO IT! The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you can feel good about yourself! My heart is pure and I yearn to help people so I became a teacher and I taught 8th graders from all over the world to find their way around in their new "home" by teaching them English, how to adapt to their new surroundings, and fit in. It's the best feeling in the world to see these children's growth by the end of the year and to know that I had the opportunity to positively impact their lives on a daily basis. After 6 years of teaching in Washington DC, I decided to move to New York and try out sales in the corporate world. In life, I have a spontaneous and adventurous spirit and am willing to try anything that won't cause blood shed, scarring, unconsciousness, or death, at least once. An "Oh so TRUE!" quote: "Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment."

What doesn't KILL you makes you STRONGER...

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the ...
