  • Class of 2005 Scholar Bios
    Class of 2006 Class of 2005 Class of 2004 Class of 2003 Navid Abghari I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia to two Persian parents. As a first-generation Persian- American, I was forced to juggle conflicting cultures, to balance a conservative Persian upbringing while living in a freethinking American society. Dealing with culture lines have helped me develop as a person, and have laid the foundation for who I am today. As I have grown older, I have jumped at the opportunities to branch out and meet new people. In high school, I volunteered at a local Alzheimer’s assisted living center where I become close with many people with whom I would not ordinarily come in contact. Also, became involved with a nature/recycling center. To this day, I make sure to go back and get some time in with all the people I met at these places. College has afforded even more opportunity for me to grow and develop as a person. I have, with the help of a fellow student, begun to organize and establish a new student organization: the Persian Student Association. Also, I have gotten involved with the Banking and Finance Society, Watchdawgs, and the Economics Society. Looking back, I am more and more grateful for my experiences with two extremely different cultures. I value aspects of both cultures that many people take for granted, because I have perspective from both sides. Although my experience with biculturalism may have been trying, I would never wish for them to be different, as they have collectively helped me become the person I am today.

    The 2011-2012 season is just around the corner. The 9U Kennesaw Generals Travel Team will hold an Open Tryout for the 2011-2012 season on Saturday, July 30, 2011 from 2:30-4:30pm on Field 3 & 4 at Adams Park in downtown Kennesaw. Several changes are in the mix for the 9U season. Coaches Chuck Whaley and Brody Hendrix are excited to move into ‘real’ baseball and create a baseball family that grows together in a highly competitive arena. The Generals will use the Fall 2011 season to focus on conditioning, pitching and overall player and team development. This will be done both through individual and professional training. We plan to play in a couple of local tournaments during the Fall if our players are available. The Generals will gear up February 1, 2012 for the Spring/Summer season, practicing 3-5 times per week. Tournament play will begin by the end of February and continue through mid to late July (depending on which World Series we choose to play in). Page 1 of 18 It’s HARD to stop a TRAIN.
