Here are some photos of my dad, Ali Pourgol; one of the most famous Rashties. He was the most famous teacher in Rasht. Most Rashties in Canada at one time or another were his student! He owned the largest private English school in Rasht. If it was not for him I would never become a doctor. It was his advice and encouragement that motivated me to get into health sciences. I am who I am thanks to him. He had the most influence in my life. He passed away on January 24, 2012. I miss him greatly.
منم گل
اشکم دانه ام
میوه ام شاهین
فکر من شیرین
دلم بی باک تا که بود بابک
اخلاقم متین
آرمانم معین
خاکم , ریشه ام ایران
منم گل خواستند خارا شوم
در زمین خارم کنند
از معین دورم کنند
میرزا آمد در آغوشم گرفت
نگذاشت خارا شوم
از معین دورم کنند
