During my senior year, I had a final round interview with one of the MBB. As it is close to nearly impossible to even receive an interview from these companies coming from a non-target school (only two students received an interview that year from my school), I really wanted this offer, and I had been preparing for weeks. Yet on the day of the interview, I distinctly remember walking out of the office feeling uneasy about my performance — I didn’t click with the interviewers and I couldn’t drive

Show up. Show up and keep showing up. Show up with at least enthusiasm as you had when you first raised your hand to volunteer. The volunteering part is easy. Making promises is a fun way to get someone's attention. Keeping those promises is often unsung, but that's how you build something.

Recently, my sixteen year old daughter came to me and asked me to write a note to her high school requesting to change one of her classes because she did not like her teacher.
