The shoes would have to be Yves Saint Laurent. I could see myself striding down Wall Street in designer pumps with the wind triumphantly blowing my hair as I swiftly hail a taxi for a corporate business function at a swanky restaurant. However, this fantasy changed after witnessing my stepfather start his company. Just two years ago, my stepfather was asking me for company name suggestions; his language school business now collects over 250 students from over 8 countries around the world. His job is hardly glamorous - on certain days, he would sit in his chair, face unshaven, wearily reviewing reports. I, the unpaid secretary, was thrust with tasks that included designing a company logo, replying emails, writing letters, and fetching an occasional cup of coffee. With every minute spent on the business, I became more magnetically drawn to it. I was a part of the business body: when the company faced woes, I was troubled; when it grew, I felt the same sense of pride and fulfillment that compelled my stepfather to become completely committed to his work.
The Stern School of Business is a body composed of Nobel Prize winners, CEO alumni, and eclectic students bursting with potential. It gives student the opportunity to lead through programs such as the International Studies Program. Being a part of Stern will give me the confidence and experience I need in order to become a part of business bodies - and eventually lead them - with or without Yves Saint Laurent heels.
