While there are so many people I admire for their characteristics and love their looks, Hossein stands out by far. To begin with, as far as his personality is concerned, I guess his most distinctive characteristic is persistence, as he always sails through impediments in life. I've never seen a person in my life with such a strong sense of responsibility. Additionally, he's absolutely cautious about what he does, and the combination of being cautious and highly intelligent makes him an extraordinary human. In case of a pressing situation, he knows how to handle it, so having him in my life is a privilege. Whenever I need to make rational decisions, I make sure to call him. Regarding his physical appearance, he stands tall with broad shoulders, exuding a sense of confidence. He has a flawless and pale complexion with immaculately groomed hair. What is captivating about his appearance is that he is different, while all the people around me have dark complexions with jet-black hair and bushy eyebrows. When it comes to our relationship, it goes back to 2022. Back then, we decided to do a group project, and that's when we realized there was a connection between us. Before the project, we were just classmates who knew each other by name, and our architectural course project was the start.
