Pennsylvania Eight - Text

This sample was submitted by the subject himself, who writes: I am a 32 year old male, Asian American. I am a physician and an assistant professor at Penn. My education level is an MD. I was born in Philadelphia, moved to Pittsburgh when I was 3 and spent elementary school there. I then moved to Buffalo, where I went to middle school, high school, college, and med school. After graduating, I spent a year in Boston and 6 years in Philadelphia. I made my recording on 3/4/07 and talk about where I grew up and my ethnic background in the unscripted part of the recording.
