Baba a much respected merchant in Kabul is now a gas station attendant. The Writer also brings out the thoughts Baba had about America.

As an International student I expected academic life in America to be fast paced and include a great amount of dedication put into research work. For the better part, I have found this to be true stating an example of Dr. Katherine Rawson, an assistant professor in Kent State’s Department of Psychology, recently who was recognized by President Barack Obama and received the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers. This has been instrumental in encouraging me in my academic field.
