“I was only nine years old when 9/11 happened, and after that I was very scared for my father. We are Sikh so he wears a turban. People would yell when we went down the street and say ignorant things. I was constantly afraid. I think that being able to get over that and being OK with being different helped make me who I am today.” — Amrit Bhinder, New York

“I was coordinating project initiatives for a 100-member team to on-board and off-board individuals for a large federal project. There was a day when a team member was rolling off the project and when he was saying goodbye, he wanted me to know the impact I had made on the team. He expressed that I truly helped improve each team member’s life by going above-and-beyond to support everyone on the project every day, no matter how big or small the task. That helped me see how my daily tasks truly influence other people’s lives.” — Ashley Babischkin, Rosslyn
“As a child I lived an impoverished life, but I didn't realize I was poor until I was almost an adult and came to the U.S., which is quite an accomplishment as a child of a single mother. The most influential person in my life was my grandmother. I spent a lot of time with her and I think that if I reflect on who I am as a person, my grandmother motivated me. She never had any formal education, but was perhaps the wisest person I’ve known." - T’Shaka Lee, Los Angeles

“I actually got an undergraduate degree in chemistry and out of undergrad was a formulation chemist. Turned out, it wasn't something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

“I really like being that role model for my kids, and they—for whatever reason—always walk me out onto the front porch and wave goodbye and help me organize my purse and things like that. I really like that they see me going to work and doing something that is in my own personal world where I am successful and they see my accomplishments.” — Christina Canavan, Rosslyn
“In May 2014, I was asked to be a fellow for the Manfred Worner Seminar, a German-American program that brings together 14 Americans and 14 Germans between the ages of 25 and 40 to discuss transatlantic defense and security issues. We had meetings at NATO, the European Union, the German State Department, and the German Chancellor’s office. It was an interesting time to be there. There was a lot of frank discussion and interesting perspectives. I was incredibly privileged to be a part of it.” — Joseph Moyer, Rosslyn
