Deferred: My Extraordinary Journey to New York University Abu Dhabi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781512122404)

What does it mean to make the hardest decision of your life? Of having to choose immediate sacrifice in order to avoid a pain that is everlasting? 'Deferred' is a journey that answers these questions with rich, vivid detail and with a sense of honesty that is oftentimes unexpected. Indeed, Michael Ttappous opens his heart to share a fight with educational, financial, bureaucratic, governmental, and militaristic obstacles in a way that shows just how unforgiving the world can sometimes be. As a student approaching graduation and stuck in a one-way tunnel of questions and setbacks, Michael's answer to life's hardest challenges come with the discovery of New York University Abu Dhabi, a unique institution providing the gateway to a better future. Yet, with a future that is possible but still blocked by life-changing obstacles, it is dedication to ideals that brings strength to weakness, even in the most unlikely of times, and that challenges the idea of acceptance and surrender.
