What if on top of that you were not born in the U.S?
I feel like this all the time. I was born in Colombia. I managed to get scholarships for all my education from school to PhD and managed to study abroad. But it was not easy. I still feel like I am not good enough, I even feel I am getting old to learn new things. I feel undeserving which can not be good for starting the PhD studies.
The universities where I studied in Colombia are just as good as any university in the U.S or Europe and proof of this is that I managed to get a masters in CS in France and will start my PhD in Sweden (sometime now since there's an immigrant crisis). But as people from the "3rd world" we are often overlooked and underestimated.
I felt very touched by this article and gave me hopes for my future and only makes me want to be younger to take evn better decisions in life.
