Sara Saedi answered Jen Knapp's question: Not a question, but I just wanted to say how cool it is for me to read your book Americanized when -- in the late nineties -- I was in high school, living in "the rough-and-tumble streets of Cupertino," attending rival school Monta Vista.

OMG, you went to Monta Vista?! That's so crazy, I bet we know a lot of people in common. And I feel like my cousins and I gave a ride to one of your teachers from the airport once. he was young and kind of a dreamboat. Thank you so much for reaching See Full Answer

Quotes by Sara Saedi

“Iran is not pronounced i-RAN; it’s pronounced e-RON. Spread the word. Tell all your friends. Tweet it. Shout it from the rooftops. Correct people. It’ll make you sound smart and cultured. On behalf of my fellow Iranians (e-RON-ians), we thank you.”
― Sara Saedi, Americanized: Rebel Without a Green Card

“In my not-so-humble opinion, I believe that immigrants are the true American patriots. We never take living in this country for granted.”
― Sara Saedi, Americanized: Rebel Without a Green Card

“the literacy rate in Iran nearly tripled (up to 97 percent, higher than the United States’), because social conservatives were comfortable with sending their daughters to school, now that their classmates would also be wearing head scarves. One could argue that the revolution oppressed women, while others could argue it helped liberate them.”
