Growing up, my biggest goal was just to get out of East New York. I took the college entrance exam and committed myself to getting into college. I did. The day I left for college was one of the first trips I made out of New York City.

在漫长的成长中，我最大的目标就是走出纽约东区。我参加了大学入学试，发誓一定要进大学。我成功了。我去读大学的时候也是我第一次离开纽约市。

College was an intimidating place for me. The other students seemed naturally confident; many had traveled and seemed to understand the world. To this day, I can't forget how insecure I felt, but it made me work harder.

大学是一个令我心生敬畏的地方。其他学生似乎很自然的充满信心，很多人都曾到处旅行，看起来对这个世界十分了解。直到今天，我还是没有办法忘记我当时的不安全感，但是这种感觉让我更加努力地工作。

Once I realized I belonged, I became more ambitious. Ambition is your inner voice that tells you you can and should strive to go beyond your circumstances or station in life. You have overcome obstacles, pressures and self-doubt and you have done it because you have ambition.

当我认识到自己的定位时，我变得更有野心了。野心是你内心的声音，告诉你可以而且应该努力去超越人生的处境或者是限制。你必须克服障碍，扛住压力，打消自我怀疑，你能做到这些都是因为你有足够的野心。
