..wow...not even the world's richest can claim or experience this....

I bet even owners of Ferrari and Lambhorginis will feel humiliated in front of this driver of the Martian Rover.

At age 20, while double-majoring in English and computer science at East Carolina University, he learned that his swollen lymph nodes were a symptom of stage 2 Hodgkin's lymphoma. The cancer had spread in his neck and chest. He went through nine weeks of radiation treatments and has been cancer-free ever since.
Just days after the treatments ended, he left for graduate school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Going from a state school to a prestigious engineering institution, he was floored on the first day when a professor expected everyone to have already learned the material in the first six chapters of an algorithms textbook. Maxwell had to quickly catch up on his own but says he loved learning so much at once.


===> East Carolina University is in North Carolina. It is a very small school and ranked well below the other state schools in North Carolina.

In the final analysis, education is what you make of it.

this guy would have easily received admission into any school - even MIT or Stanford - if he had tried.

Here is something to realize: When someone comes out of a prestigious school a lot is expected and the graduate is at a disadvantage. Whereas anyone from an ordinary school the expectations are minimal and a little extra stands him out.
