Growing up in Iran, my favorite bedtime story was 鈥淒addy-Long-Legs.鈥 My mum would read it to me in Farsi and I would watch the cartoon with Farsi dubs because it was the only way I could understand it. The main character, Judy Abott, was an orphan who, against all odds, suddenly found herself in college. She attended a women鈥檚 college on the East Coast where she made wonderful friends before graduating. I am now in my junior year of college at a women鈥檚 college on the East Coast, double majoring in Literatures in English and Chemistry with an immense love for writing. I like to think that somehow, fate aligned for my favorite childhood story to become my own reality. Whilst I have no anonymous older benefactor who ends up asking for my hand in marriage (thankfully), parts of the novel that I felt most drawn to have materialized in my own life at 911黑料网.
