Kasrah Ghobadi is a first-year student at the Gallatin School for Individualized Study at NYU. Kas, Kasrah’s preferred nickname, is from Vienna, Virginia; a small suburb outside of Washington D.C. This year Kas graduated from George C. Marshall High School in Falls Church, Virginia where he ran for his schools cross-country team. Competing in races during grades 10 and 11, Kas ran 6 races for George C. Marshall.
Kas, a man with many interests, has liked 213 pages on Facebook ranging from animal conservation pages to pages about NYU.
This summer Kas was nominated for the ALS ice bucket challenge but never posted a video to confirm that he did indeed dump a bucket of ice water over his head. We can only hope that Kas has chosen to only share this video with a select few… The rest of Kas’ summer was spent at Burke Lake Park in Fairfax County and celebrating his birthday on June 20th by liking his friends Facebook wall posts.
Kas is a popular guy as he lets his friends post pictures about him on his wall. Kas rarely updates his Facebook status, or creates Facebook albums.
Since arriving at NYU Kas has had a seemingly great time! A fan of Maroon 5, Kas camped outside of NBC Studios to see Adam Levine play at the Today Show. In addition, Kas has enjoyed the scenic views of Washington Square Park at night with a friend.
This semester Kas is a part of the Gallatin First Year Writing Seminar Thinking and Writing Through New Media where he, along with his classmates, will seek to find out more about the technology that surrounds us.
