Vivienne Ming Zitate

In 1958, my father graduated from secondary school as the highest-achieving student in the state of Kansas, earning a five-year scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He turned it down. For someone raised in a remote farming town, this would have been his opportunity to transform his life, a ticket to a bigger world.

Deutsche Übersetzung

1958 schloss mein Vater die Highschool als leistungsstärkster Schüler im Bundesstaat Kansas ab und erhielt ein fünfjähriges Stipendium am Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Er lehnte es ab. Für jemanden, der in einer abgelegenen Bauernstadt aufgewachsen ist, wäre dies die Gelegenheit gewesen, sein Leben zu verändern, eine Eintrittskarte in eine größere Welt.

That was really so upsetting when you are trying to pass on some very serious knowledge and be basically, treated worse than a student coming off the street because his father pays the tuition. Come on. Give me a break. This is no school. This is a joke.
