Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea P2

One and a half year later, when I started my sentence, she said, now you take your high school diploma.

So she helped me to take my whole high school diploma from prison.

and I came out with one of the country's highest average grade point averages, and I was accepted to study psychology at Copenhagen University.

I think the turning point here was that for the first time in my adult life, there was somebody who believed in me and loved me for who I was.

What I survived

Which famous customers did you have and stuff like that?

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea P2

And I was, of course, not interested in that because that would not make the world a better place.
