Business Details
I sat in the middle of a large university classroom more than 6,000 miles from home… My anxiety felt like it was going to strangle me to death… There was beaming sense of regret eating away at my insides… I wanted to scream. To cry even.
“I am a fake. I am an imposter. I do not belong here…”
I wanted to quit. See, sitting there in that business class -- in the Institute of Entrepreneurship in Madrid, Spain -- I would be the first person in my family to complete a four year degree…
I looked to my right… and to my left… everyone around me had been raised in privilege.
But me… I was nothing like them.
“I cannot do this…” See, my family and I are from Venezuela. We grew up simple. And although my father was an entrepreneur himself (he owned a little grocery store), things were different back home.
