I wrote this essay for an English 101 class on April 10, 1990 at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I had left Iran four months earlier after spending the 1980s as a reporter and photographer who was more than just sympathetic towards the Islamic Republic. By the time I left for America, I was angry and disappointed at the revolution and religion -- and myself. I still am... :o)

I found this essay among letters and photographs my mother had saved. (She added the "AND REBIRTH" herself. The handwritings -- except on top of Page 1 -- is my professor's.)
