• I never thought I was capable of a college education – I was sure that if I came to the gates of a university, the security guards would say to me, "You cannot enter. This place is not for you!" Now I have three degrees, including a Ph.D.
• I never dreamed I would become a published author – I loved to write dramatic stories when I was sixteen and seventeen. My mother even bought me a typewriter at the time. However, when I was 25 I could not have imagined I would write books one day. Now, I have one published book and another to be published in June.
• I never thought I would divorce and remarry – my dream was to stay married forever and have a big family with three or four children. When I was 25 it became shocking and traumatic for me when my husband wanted to divorce … I wonder … did I ever recover from that?
• I never thought I would leave Israel – how I loved Israel! The only place in the world I have ever felt completely at home. When I was 25 I was sure I would stay there forever.
• I never imagined I would land up in America – wow! Not that imperialist bastion of capitalism! Me oh my! When I was 25 I was a staunch socialist and could not even imagine putting one foot – nay, not one toe – in America! In June, I will have been in the U.S. for 20 years.
