Many say that I have a story to tell. Lately I have been thinking the same thing. You see, I went, with several stops along the way, from the farm in rural East Carroll Parish, Lake Providence, Louisiana, which was named the poorest place in America in the 1990s to the pinnacle of Ivy League institutions in America--Harvard University. I might also add that not only is Harvard ranked #1 in America, but reputable sources have reported that Harvard University has a perceived ranking of #1 among colleges and universities in the world. Needless to say, I felt great alumna pride and delight to have received two of the highest degrees, master's degree and doctor's degree, from the highest ranked institution in America and in the world. The main question that people ask me is, "How did you get there?" I cannot tell you about everyone else, but I will tell you about my life and journey starting from my parents, my siblings, and me on the farm. Here goes.
