Thesis?
Emerging Ancillary Markets in
the Global Wireless Revolution.
I bet that's quite a read.
We're actually looking
to beef up our Tech Practice
but then you probably
already knew that.
So, Katherine Burke, who are you?
Where do you come from?
I grew up
in the middle of nowhere.
The birthplace of Wendell Willkie is
20 miles away, and that's about it.
My mom works in a bottling plant
and sells Nutra-Life products
and my dad left
when I was little.
I never really knew him.
Tell us about a problem
you've encountered.
My guidance counselor tried to keep
me from applying to good schools.
I thought she was my friend.
She said she understood me and that
I would be happier
staying close to home--
junior college
or secretarial school.
She hated me.
What action did you take?
I invited a senator who attended
college here to speak at our school.
And what was the result?
I got a strong letter
of recommendation
from a U.S. Senator,
was accepted early decision
and they gave me
lots of financial aid.
And what did you learn
from this experience?
- Truthfully?
- Of course.
Mrs. Castleman
was a sneaky bitch.
It was the first time I was
betrayed by someone I trusted.
I looked up to her.
I didn't come close to understanding
the depth to which she resented me.
I learned that people who help me,
who invest in me become my partners
and my success is their success
that relationships
are symbiotic.
I learned responsibility
based on others' faith in me.
I hope to be able to pay some
dividends to those investors.
How many pennies do you think it
would take to fill this room?
