I don’t know what amount of perpetual entitlement this professor feels he deserves.
Ask any international student even from middle class families, everything this guy
whines about himself and his family every single international student
has lived through it and flourished in one generation - guaranteed!
Now as an American citizen college preparing for 2 American born kids,
my biggest whine is my high EFC score.

Amherst felt a little colder — or perhaps just lonelier
Yes, hence you by choice took up a job in Harvard ?
Why did you not go back to teach in Miami, be honest with yourself first!
without the money to return home for spring break like so many of my peers.
An extremely financially illiterate Harvard Professor. I and every international
student earned and paid our trip back to Asia once every 2 years. Amex had a
‘special deal’ for students where you could charge a typical $1200 coach ticket to
Asia and pay it back with interest over a year.
Typical ticket to Miami ? $250 - God forbid he had to fly on Spirit @ $150 he would
whine about that trip endlessly.
But even as I write these words, I’m aware that this is exactly the kind of story that
poor, black and Latinx students are conditioned to write for college application
essays.
More ignorance, it is not just your race but your birth in the US that gives you
this entitlement to write this essay. Do you think any black and any other non
white race from any country can write this essay ?
Life in privileged communities means that children traverse safer streets
I know exactly what you mean, i grew up in a safe middle class neighborhood
in a ‘3rd’ world country. And I lived among’st your race on ML King Street as
a student earning $4.25/hr federal min wage in 1991. My landlord was your race.
He was welcoming of foreign students earning min wage and paying rent on time
for 1 room.
