Is Sasa a lover or a helper?
Sasa could not answer this question until she found herself in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a local hospital. And friends, colleagues, and family members could not answer the question either.
Sasa walked into a prestigious college she never dreamed of attending. She observed with awe the lines of attractive green trees with massive green space. She felt relaxed, and calmness rushed through her body; she patted herself on the shoulder and made her parents proud.
She moved into the dormitory room she shared with the daughter of a former impeachment counsel.
Sasa excelled at academics, but her social life was a disaster.
She made it out of college with flying colors. However, it was so strange she didn’t have dates like her friends. Almost everyone in her small class dated and had fun.
After much soul searching, she discovered that all the dating partners were from similar parental backgrounds — financially and professionally. There were the children of highly regarded scientists, lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, technology executives, and millionaires.
