When you live a dream

It was probably high school when I had first come across the acronym M.I.T. It was the place where all the smartest people went to study. Only a chosen few of this world would have the opportunity to be there. They would end up creating technologies of the future and lead the global corporates of tomorrow.

Can't recall if I ever thought at that time - I want to go to MIT.
Wonder why I did not dream? Wonder why I din't want the best for me? Wonder why I thought It could only be a dream.

Today I took the Ambassadors Program at MIT Sloan School of Management, spoke with the Admissions Director and with those smartest kids of the world. I found that they are not different people...they just do things differently.

Overall the Sloan visit was fun. Besides the fact that i got lost a couple of times before i finally reached, and that i paid $20 for 4 hours at the public parking!, everything else was great. Sloanies are down to Earth and friendly. The campus was full of activity, and the staff was helpful.
I attended the Advanced Corporate Finance class and surprisingly it wasn't too hard. I had to notice that the professors use blackboard and chalk instead of whiteboards...hmm!
