Some five years ago, way over on
the other side of the Atlantic, a 17-year old boy was deciding on where to go
to for college. A year later, he ended up making his way to a small town in
cold northern Indiana called South Bend. With no idea of what exactly he was
heading into - the harsh Midwest winters and no knowledge of American football
- this young boy was ready for the challenge. Challenging though it was, he was
one not to give up and he was ready for the ride.
What a ride it was! The rigorous
engineering curriculum, the harsh cold winters, adapting to a new culture and
environment, and being thousands of miles away from home. The joy of going to
The Grotto, seeing the image of Touchdown Jesus, making long-lasting friends
and creating memories along the way. Oh and how could you forget: yelling "GO
IRISH" at the top of my voice every Saturday. I had been converted to a
fan of American Football. And not just of the sport, but in particular of the brand
that is the 'Notre Dame Fighting Irish'. It was the best four years of my life
and I was glad to have had it the way I did.
In the summer of 2013, I decided
to "take my talents" (in the words of Lebron) to the nation's
capital. I decided I was ready for yet another challenge. I needed to complement my engineering degree by pursuing a master's degree in Business Analysis at The Catholic
University of America.
