I just found out about this scholarship this year and my daughter is very excited about applying when she’s in seventh grade. I’ve noticed that there aren’t any descriptions of the finalist interviews.

I’m also interested as to what type of questions they ask. Was it structured like a typical college interview?

(Also, congratulations, Ms. Lee, and best of luck!)

Mrs. Lee,

That is very exciting. I am happy for your family and wish you the best. I have told others of this opportunity, and some found it too daunting an undertaking. Good luck to your family.

We’ve been notified that my daughter is a finalist. We’re very excited and waiting for the interview. Could I talk with you to learn about your interview experience?

Comment on Leading and Managing in Silicon Valley now on the Kindle by Collins Chu

Mr Hempel, I am one of the co-reviewers who are working on translating your this book into Chinese version. During our work, I found a place quite confusing. It’s a bit trivial but keeps haunting me. In the section 6.1, there is the line “With your understanding that your boss, the CEO, wants to look good to the board members, you can help by praising the CEO in front of the board and by helping them with their presentation.” Here I feel quite confused about the “them” in “by helping them with their presentation”. Does this “them” refer to the board members or the CEO? I just couldn’t imagine that a VTE has to help with the presentations for the board members (actually I couldn’t imagine that the board members need to give a presentation at all), but if it refers to the CEO then would the singular form be more appropriate? I am totally confused by this line and I tried discussing with co-workers but didn’t get a conclusion. Fortunately I found your blog and wish you could give us the final answer of this question.

By the way your book is quite interesting and personally I enjoy the whole procedure of translating your book. Thank you and all the co-writers for this practical and interesting book.

Hmm, I’m sorry, something got cut off in my prior comment.

To finish, I once had a neighbor insist that she would not separate the recyclables from the trash as long as our local waste management company charged for pick-up. I asked her about stewardship over the earth, and the role she is asked to play in that, and she became testy.

Remembering that moment has unnerved and perplexed me for a few years now.

Nice to hear your voice on this. I’ll print it out and have my husband read it.

Were you once a 9-year-old boy by any chance? (Amazing how you channel mine!)

Can you tell me which essay you felt best gave your child an opportunity to showcase herself? Were you, her parents, as pleased as she, about the choices she made in deciding what would best capture and communicate who she is on paper?

I found the process nearly harrowing at some points, and truly a wonderful avenue for communicating and seeing into the… soul… of my child, seeing where she is right now, and what she moves through the day with in her emotional and education tool bag, as it were.

You sound easy-going and open to wonder, and I’m working on that.

I’ll be back to see what you and your daughter are up to!
