<p>@pleasewharton, i feel proud to have read your story, and to be honest, it almost made me cry. i am extremely happy that such a deserving person is going to stanford. of course, anyone can study 20 hours a day and get 2200 on the SAT, but it is exceptional people like you who should attend the best universities in the world and shine. the fact that you have had to work so hard for all that we take for granted, really highlights how special you are.</p>
<p>even though i do not know you, and i probably never will, i am your fan now :)</p>
<p>God bless you.</p>
