My daughter absolutely HATED UPenn.
She was afraid to let us down by leaving our prized Ivy League trophy to flaunt in our community. So she endured 4 tears of being treated as the ‘other.’ I’ll never get over the guilt of putting her through all that comes with being brown and Muslim in rarefied airs of ridiculously overrated overpriced prestige universities.
Not every minority’s experience is like hers, of course.
