“Me, Ex-Quota Girl, ‘Daring Bum’” is an intimate and moving post on Gabriela's blog in which she recounted the saga she went through to pass the university entrance exam at 17, and then how she subsequently had to face the prejudice and racism aimed at a student who had passed by means of the ‘racial quotas system’ for further education.
