My Concentration Was Really On Getting To University And Becoming A Doctor. My Parents Let Me Know That School Marks Were Important. Achievement Was Something Which Came By Hard Work.

My Family Actually Lived In The Same Village For About 400 Years. They Had Great Stability Until The Last Century. People Lived And Intermarried In Small Villages.
