“What struck me was the humility of her parents, especially her dad. Both of them do not despise people and do not
judge you based on your background. When I got to know her background, then I
realized that indeed she was from a good home for her to have kept a low

“I can’t completely describe how I

I went into the university as a

him based on who I really am and not because of where I am coming from. I went

really was.”
