“I started working at 16 to send myself to school. My parents couldn’t afford to send me to school, so I have to find a way to go to school. Education is very important to me, so I’m doing whatever it takes to have one.”

March 8 is International Women’s Day. In honor of the event, we interviewed a group of students and asked them about their take on the issue on equal opportunities for men and women.

MR. RUSTICO NATALE MALLILLIN,

Chief Physical Therapist at the UB Physical Therapy and Training Center

This week, we give tribute to physical therapists and the work they do, helping transform lives by restoring and improving motion.

“I would like to believe healing is my calling. Even before I took physical therapy, I engaged on a missionary work. I sort of made it my mission to help people become well. I guess it’s my way of doing something for humanity.”

“I’ve always been fascinated with history – with how things were before, how things worked centuries ago. Maybe I just want to understand how the past shaped the present. Or maybe I’m just an old soul, a reincarnation of someone from the old era.”

“This is for Mom and Dad. It sounds tired, but they have always been my rock.”

“We were constantly moving. We would hop from one city to another, attend a school for just a year and then leave. It’s because of dad’s work – his job would require us to move frequently. Oh, and yes, we’re twins.”
