Amir Khosrow Afshar (July 6, 1989 -- ) was born to Amir and Mary Ruth (Dobson) Afshar in Ishpeming, Michigan's Bell Memorial Hospital. He is a direct descendant of the world's greatest King and conqueror, Nader "Shah" Afshar of The Persian Empire, founder of the Afsharid dynasty. Despite the fact that Amir lives in an era where military genius and expand-and-conquer tactics won't get you anywhere in life, he has other plans of rocking the world. All we can do for now is just be patient...

Parents

Amir's mother, Mary Ruth Dobson, was born Christine Salier in Jackson, Michigan on September 29, 1958. She was put up for adoption immediately thereafter, and taken in by Marvin and Ruth Dobson of Ishpeming, Michigan. She was an active child and made many friends growing up. She graduated with honors from Westwood High School in 1976. She spent a few years in college here and there, until moving down south for a while, where she spent 1982 until early 1989 living in Texas and Louisiana.


Amir's father, Amir Afshar, was born November 11, 1960 in Tehran, Iran to Fatima Dadmarzi and Mohammad Afshar. He graduated from High School in 1978 and spent the next 9 years doing electrical work and investing. Cursed with bad vision his whole life, he came to the United States in early 1987 with the intention of having a corrective eye surgery done in New Orleans, Louisiana.


As fate may have it, Amir's father rented an apartment in New Orleans in the same building that Mary happened to be living. One night she locked herself out of her apartment and knocked on his door for his help. His charm with picking locks and must have been too much for her to handle, and the rest is history. They were married in New Orleans about 6 months later.


One day in early 1989, Mary (unknowingly pregnant) mysteriously vanished. Amir, having no idea where she went, just went about with his business in New Orleans with the thought that she had left him. One of his co-workers received a call in mid-1989 from a "Mary in Ishpeming." Apparently, Mary was expecting...

Early Life

Amir's childhood, like anyone else's of his time period, had its ups and downs. His parents were divorced in 1993 and fought each other like hungry lions for custody of him and his younger brother, Abraham (September 27, 1990 -- ), and for obvious reasons: besides the pleasures of raising such a prodigy, each parent wanted to be able to take credit for their son's future greatness. The father, Amir, eventually won.

School Years

Amir attended Whitman Elementary School from the fall of 1994 until the spring of 2000. Although he had many interdisciplinary problems throughout Elementary School, nothing could hold back Amir's academic talent. It closed after the next school year, oddly enough; probably out of the principal's depression, knowing that the school would never have another student like Amir Afshar.

He was enrolled in Graveraet Middle School for the fall semester of 2000 until the spring of 2003 semester, after which, (not surprisingly) the school closed again. Probably the same story...


At Marquette Senior High School, (which he attended from the fall of 2003 until graduation in the spring of 2007) he excelled both in the classroom and pretty much at whatever he did and wherever he went. He capped off his senior year with everything academic a guy his age could ask for: academic achievement awards, multiple scholarships, a 36 composite ACT score and an obscenely high GPA for his senior year.


Other than the fact that Amir is academically talented, he is quite the physical specimen; he boasts a 6', 260 pound physique with arms like the Rockies and shoulders broad as the Great Plains. He has a 425 pound bench press and can curl his own bodyweight. What can I say? This young man was just destined for greatness...

Personal and Future

Amir now resides in Marquette, Michigan. He plans to attend a university next year. However, since he is such a hot commodity, he is having a hard time deciding into which university he will enroll. I guess to him, it all comes down to who wants him the most. Often times, schools try so hard to get his attention that school admissions counselors and administrators send him e-mails (and sometimes even IMs) begging him to be granted the opportunity to almost be considered to allow them to have him for a free campus tour. His intended major is all majors. He estimates it should take anywhere from 3 to 4 years to graduate, depending on how many majors are offered by the school he decides and the size of their curricula.
