Students of Sparta: Nadir Hassan

Nadir Hassan has only been a Spartan for a year, moving to Sparta in his junior year, but he is one that we all want to know. Nadir is honest and a genuine young man. After you talk to Nadir, you carry yourself a little better throughout the day as a result of his infectious kindness. 


I transitioned to a completely different community in 2016, and a community that is very different. In my hometown, there were a lot of mixed races which exposed students to different things and different ways of life. As a result, everyone got along because we were accustomed to accept different ideas and beliefs. I'm not sure why, but I've realized that it's different here. Personally, I know that the world doesn't just consist of me. There are other people with different lives. I wouldn't say I feel out of place in my new home, but I know other people who do and that is a tough feeling. I don't think Sparta is a negative community at all - but a lot of people are indifferent. Difference , diversity, and acceptance isn't something that is really a priority that they think about.
