So it's an unbelievable honor that I know you take great pride in.

But it also comes, as you say, with this tremendous responsibility to always live up to all that you had endured and

what you've accomplished, what it represents, did that expectation also feel like a cage in the way?

Like you wanted to come into college almost as an anonymous person.

Was there a particular moment when you realized you're at college, when you realized, wait a minute, I could do whatever I want, you know?

And I just want to note, folks, that you had 24-hour security because during this time period, in the years after you were shot, you received lots of threats against your life.

That's why you had 24-hour security.

In addition, in the same way that many heads of state have security in the United States.

What do you think it was about that that like really set your heart on this independent journey like that?

It's almost like another near death experience.

You really did experience a lot of things in college that many students do, including getting high.

Your spring year of college, first year at Oxford, you're with friends, you're hanging out as college kids do.

And you're offered marijuana, specifically a bong.

And you join in with your friends.

And as the hours tick on, you have a reaction.

You can't walk.

Everything goes black.

And this, you realize, is a very familiar place.

Could I have you read what you wrote about it in the book?

It's hard to read.
