What do you want to take to and bring back from Prague and the Czech Republic?
I want to go to the Czech Republic with a willingness to learn and an open mind to everything that will be presented to me. I want to come back with a renewed sense of the world. An individual more deeply cultured and appreciative of the arts. Someone who is conscientious and has a broadened perspective on a different aspect of contemporary society.
If you were Gregor Samsa in Franz Kafka’s story “The Metamorphosis,” what insect would you turn into?
A bumblebee. Sometimes people who don’t know me well perceive me as serious and somewhat hard on the outside. But like the bumblebee, when you get past the exterior perception, I’m light, humorous, and compassionate.
