My mom, she was very hesitant to send me
here in the first place but it was
actually her after I told her how much
it meant to me that made the push for me
to go here, because it was so difficult
for her to get educated in Pakistan
especially as a woman. And I think she
understood how important it was for me
to not hold back.
If I were going to give my 18-year-old self some advice
on making a college decision I'd say the
experiences you've had so far aren't
reflective of what people are like.
There are a lot of people out there that are
willing to help you and you don't have
to compromise between different parts of
yourself.
So if you want something and if you are
willing to work for it, then don't feel
like the world is stacked against you,
there are people that are willing to help you.
