Hi, my name is Sabika Mithani.  I decided to take Geography 105 in the Spring of 2001 and found it to be very enlightening from a cultural as well as historical perspective.  For my Scholars Honors project I decided to do a research paper on the women of a country who have been through enormous change in the twentieth century.  The women of Iran lived very different lives before and after the Islamic Revolution led by Imam (leader) Khomeini in 1979.

The Scholars Honors Program is very beneficial.  It has given me motivation, research skills, and the ability to stay on track and not procrastinate.  In addition, it has given me wonderful chances to get into top universities.   I plan to attend UCLA as a pre med student in the near future.  I encourage everyone and anyone that is motivated to succeed in life to be part of the Scholars Honors Program.
