\u201cThe day before my fifth birthday, I cut my own finger off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was reaching through a window and the window fell on it (pinky finger), but they reattached it. So during the early hours of my fifth birthday, I was in the emergency room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat was your reaction to all this?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know how little kids have this tendency of just being injured and almost not notice. So I just picked up the finger and brought it to my parents. My dad flipped out…\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHow does networking make you feel?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt not only makes me feel like a professional, but it also makes me more open-minded because in the business world, people tend to have more specialized jobs. You are meeting all these different people with different majors and different experiences, so you sort of bounce off of ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are your long-term goals with International Business?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI would say an aspiration would be like working for the UN or UNICEF. I don\u2019t know the exact details, but that\u2019s pretty much it. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you could have dinner with one person in the world\u2014dead or alive\u2014who would it be?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy friends would laugh at me for this, but I really want to have dinner with Rafael Nadal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tennis player? Why?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhen I was 11 years old, my mother developed breast cancer again and it was a very dark time in my life. I was so withdrawn, I didn\u2019t want to talk to anybody. My friend had forced me to go with her to the U.S. Open and I can tell you the exact moment I walked in with her and there he was. I was awestruck.<\/p>\n

It was just his tenacity when he was playing. He just went after every ball during the practice. I\u2019ve never seen anything like that in my life, you know. And that just sort of stuck with me. I was just thinking like, wow, if this man can put so much power and effort into a practice that doesn\u2019t count for anything\u2014a practice\u2014why can\u2019t I apply that same sort of method in my own life? So he was really inspirational to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
