About the Book

You Can't Hold Me Down: A Present Day Story of Ambition, Fulfillment, Survival, and Success

By Jawad Taherpoor


In this book Jawad Taherpoor has self-published his autobiography under the title, You Can't Hold Me Down. It is about the struggles and adventures of a young and self-driven man who at the age of 19 fulfills his lifetime goal of learning English and obtaining a position as an interpreter for the United States forces in the battlefield of Afghanistan.
When the Taliban forces identify Jawad as a friend of the Americans, he has to run for his life. At the age of 23 Jawad first flies "under the radar" to Iran, and from there he pays the Turkish smugglers a small fortune to take him mostly on foot, to Greece hoping that there his application for a US special interpreter's visa would be approved soon, as promised. He hopes that this way he could soon fulfill his next dream of going to America. However, things do not turn out as expected and instead, with the help again of the smugglers he ends up cold, hungry and broke at a refugee asylum near Hamburg, Germany. But Jawad is determined not to follow the fate of most refugees and within a year he moves to Frankfurt, Germany. There while still hoping and waiting for his SIV visa to come through, he does not sit idle. He prepares himself and against all odds, he makes it on his own in the refugee burdened world of Germany. However, Jawad now thirty-two years old, does not forget his own past struggles. While hoping and waiting, one of his goals is to give back by sacrificially helping those less fortunate refugees.
About the Author: Jawad Taherpoor is 32 years old and he and his wife Sara reside at the present time in Frankfurt German. They are expecting their first child to arrive in October of 2018. Jawad is a first-time author who has tried to put his whole life story together in this book. He has always been looking for the next new level of life, and has tried to learn and adapt from the ups and downs he has experienced. He has never forgotten the hardships and down's of his life. Instead he has learned from them. He has also learned to be compassionated towards others who have not been able to come out to "the other side" yet and are still suffering. His life has a greater meaning to him now that he is able to help others, regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity, color and language. The only thing that matters the most to him is their humanity. He believes that ALL humans that are on planet earth are brothers and sisters and nothing should distinguish one from the other.
