AIn early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.You cant say its not a great university, just because Papa went there. Thats not it at all. And it is a top university. She was still holding the pieces in her hand. But we cant afford to send you to college.I wouldnt dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things arent that bad, are they?No, she said.
