I was born in the north African country of Morocco. While my parents were reluctant to leave their homeland, they believed I would have a better opportunity for education in America. So from age 3 until age 9, we lived in Jackson, Mississippi. Then,
my mother got a job offer as a professor of textile engineering in Alabama that paid well and had very convenient hours for
our family of now five (two parents and three children). When I turned three years old, my father got a job in America, in the
state of Mississippi as a college professor of mathematics. I've lived longer in Alabama than I have anywhere else--from age 9
until I graduate from high school. Now, and I can hardly believe it, I'm headed out to college in California.
