N.C. State University B.S. Applied Mathematics Farshad Bathaee, D.P.M I came to this school with a lot of uncertainty and confusion. Vs the years went by. the uncertainty of the future became bigger and bigger to the point that not one day went by that 1 didn't think about it. Meanwhile classes got harder and harder, and days longer and longer. At times I thought this was a suicide that was going to take four years—How painful! There were happy moments which seemed minute at the time compared to all the hardship and frustrations-applying for residencies and filling out those sheets for Ardan who was always at lunch with Tammi. But I guess one thing never changed and that is the love of my parents and my sister and brother. My parents were always there It) cheer rne up—sent me food, my brother was my best friend, and my sister the one I cried to. i guess unconditional love is even better than a residency program. I made some friends and might have hurt others. I'm sorry for the ones hurt and happy to have known my friends. And then there was Bmilio. It was fun to have lived with him It was fun taking those trips--Hershey. Boston (shame on you and Sherri). D.C. (Hay'you doin?). APMA news... I think he's the only one who truly knows what I went through in the past 4 long years. Thanks for understanding... You're looking for THIS?? By the way PenPlax never wrote back. To Class of 97--I would've wanted it any other way. It was the best class that could ever be at PCPM and we all know that. Good luck and best wishes to every single one of you.

Mom and Dad: Words cannot express my appreciation lor both of you. Without your endless support, guidance, and faith nothing would be possible. You taught me the true meaning of hard work and dedication through your lives and this accomplishment is as much yours as it is mine. You are the best parents anyone could have and I am very proud to be your son. Ic Ayarco Lee and Vasili: My three sons. I could not ask for better brothers than you guys. My life would not be the same without you both there for me. I remember all the good times we had and hope there is more to come. I challenge you to follow your dreams. It was a fun ride and I wish you all happiness and success. Special thanks to Dan and Dave. Wiens. George Y.. and the DU boys who all kept me sane for four years; EMK for your smiles, friendship, and love which always made life easier for me. ’Therefore be at peace with God whatever you conceive Him to be. and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be HAPPY. -Desiderata MnappnouvaiiKa y
