<p>My mother is a professor. I phoned my mother at her office and she immediately began weeping openly, apparently in front of a student. She had to call me back once she got herself together. I was a high school dropout, and became a heavy drinker in my early twenties. She’s confessed that there were times she assumed I’d end up homeless. My acceptance to Berkeley is more than she ever expected from me.</p>
