It was nice getting to know Lombardi on a personal level and I enjoyed meeting Ken Roberts for the first. I wish I took the opportunities given in the past to meet more House fellows because they are such interesting people with unique stories to tell. Lombardi’s background and how he came into his position at Cornell were very inspiring to me. I think his story highlights that your goals might change and be sidetracked but it is important to work at your passion and do what you enjoy. Lombardi knew that he wanted to help kids, and he gave himself the space to explore what he really wanted to do. I want to keep this in mind for my future career goals.
