Due to financial reasons, I dropped out of school after eight years of formal schooling.

The labs were happy that I was brave enough to attempt to program it and the $5 million computer was left entirely to my use. I was their human guinea pig.

I wanted to become a mathematician, physicist or astronomer.

Our lives sometimes depend on computers performing as predicted.

During the week that I arrived in the United States, I saw an airport, used a telephone, used a library, talked with a scientist, and was shown a computer for the first time in my life.

I preferred to study those subjects that were of interest to me.

The hardship of living in a refugee camp made me psychologically strong.
