“In February 2018, our service club engaged Mehrnaz Bassiri to address sixty Grade 7 girls about how to prepare for the academic challenges of high school. We foolishly assumed that the girls would find it difficult to concentrate for any length of time on such a dry topic. We could not have been more wrong! From the minute she began, Mehrnaz captivated the girls’ attention with her simple yet sage advice. The girls were feverishly taking notes, despite re-assurances that they would receive an electronic copy of her presentation. Mehrnaz’s presentation is a must-see for students who are about to embark on further academic challenges.”
