Later, Khan received an email from a young man who had successfully entered the university through hardships. But they still lag far behind their classmates, especially in math. Then he found the video of Khan. He wrote: "I have been reading your YouTube page all summer ... I just want to thank you for everything." I took the math test last week and now I have entered a fast math class of 200 people ... I can say without hesitation that you have changed my life and that of all my family. "
These words deeply touched Khan, especially since he himself was born in poverty. He recalled: "I skipped many classes and got two undergraduate courses and a master's degree in four years. Skipping class is not laziness. There are many more efficient ways to learn than sitting in class. " He quit his job as a hedge fund analyst, locked himself in the cloakroom of his bedroom and started making videos. 10 months later, when Khan almost gave up under the pressure of life, he received the first check from Andor.
Dole recalled: "I decided to make a contribution. What really surprises me is that Salman has been on some news programs, such as CNN, and I thought he was rich. Later I found out that I was his biggest donor. I also found that he was going to stop and find a' real' job, which also scared me. "
