“Now, how many of you seek to send your children to hospitality after this university education so that you can go and make the beds in the hotels?” She asked.
“How many of you plan to send your children to university, because that is what we do, we send everyone to university? How many of you plan to send your children to the university so that you can then go and build these houses?” She continued.
