One story that really hits close to home, because I'm a student myself, is with a stateless Vietnamese man who was 22 years of age. I became friends with him. His name was Le Huy. He was admitted to university on compassionate grounds. His professor let him into university, but after his professor retired, the university found out that he did not have citizenship and was stateless. They kicked him out of school. They had posters of his face all over the school and he was not allowed on the grounds. He was treated almost like a criminal because he was trying to get an education. Through no fault of his own, being stateless, he was unable to do that. I've taken my education for granted and that's a story that has really hit hard.
