As soon as I pulled up to the house, I got out and opened the trunk. Inside, there was a black suitcase with stacks of money. I had three million dollars in the palms of my hands. My first thought was to spend some of it on a trip to Bora Bora, build a five hundred thousand square foot home for my family and give three hundred thousand dollars to…

When I was 4 years old, I remember when my father walked out on our family. I didn’t understand what was happening. All I knew was that mommy and daddy were fighting, and I thought it would be okay after a while. That’s how it always ended. They fought, we went to sleep, and woke up the next morning.

Language and terminology develop over time in academia resulting in some words being left behind and forgotten.
