Jenny Mendez
Jenny Mendez left Pakistan in 1982 to study at Marquette University.
She earned her doctorate in Education Administration and now works at
Wayne State University's Institute of Gerontology. Jenny was most surprised
to see the informal dress and manners of her peers on campus when she
first arrived in the United States. Students in Pakistan wear formal clothes
to class and wouldn't be seen putting their feet up on seats. Jenny loves
the freedom she has in America. Single women in Pakistan traditionally
do not leave home without the accompaniment of family or friends. With
all her family living in either Canada or the States, Jenny misses the
food most about Pakistan. She hopes to return to Pakistan someday to contribute
to the field of aging.
