When asked how he was able to read and study for his exams, he said he “take down notes into a tape recorder, listen to them when I needed to read, and for exams, the invigilator read out the exam questions while I typed out the answers on my computer.”

“She’s very dependable. Very playful too. When she’s with me, I feel safe and secure. Many discouraged her from dating me, but she paid no heed to them. She has a mind of her own, you see. She’s very reasonable too, and she always puts my welfare first. I married the best. Sincerely,
