“’Understand that this is wrong but in the exam you will be tested on this. So, you have to produce the wrong answer.’ And this was our professor telling us this. And, I remember being locked. I was just thinking, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t do this anymore.’ So, I just felt so betrayed by the system that I really started to feel so confined and wanted to get out.” (35:58)
“I’m pretty indiscriminate. I’ll read anything. I’ll read a box of shampoo bottles if there’s nothing to read…I just want to like the story, like the protagonist, learn something and be transported.” (37:49)
