LEGENDARY PROFESSIONALS
over Italy contains this hard-won
perspective. The choice was made
to give students an “emerging
economy” experience, a concept
she understands with an intimacy
her European colleagues do not.
Her preference for Italy is less a
complaint and more the observation
of a pragmatist who sees the irony
in being offered a lesson she has
already lived. It’s this kind of honest
thinking through her situation that
seems to define her journey. Her
final words offer a foundational
principle for anyone navigating such
ambiguity: “Whatever route you take,
traditional or not, you have to believe
in yourself.”
