...Segway. I don't let it bother me. People have got to help me walk here and there, but they don't think of it as a limitation because I don't. You could also say the same thing about my ethnic background--being Asian, Chinese, in what is mainly a Caucasian world of business. I pretend it isn't there. The work-ethic part, you've got to be passionate about what you do and instill that passion. I don't expect people to do things I don't do myself. If I'm traveling coach, working 24/7, working...
...take a poll within the financial business of who the most unpopular person is, I not only think I would win, but I'd have to spend a lot of time thinking about who would come in second.

It doesn't bother me anymore. It used to. Through my book [I Am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story, written by Rick Bragg], I have been able to set the record straight. I did what I could do and now let the record speak for itself...
...point [at which] I'm able to handle it better. It was hard getting stopped all the time when I wasn't used to it. It doesn't bother me now. But I don't want any special attention drawn to me. I'll try to blend in as much as I can. I have to say I am a little nervous--the freshmen that I'll be with were eighth-graders when I graduated from high school...
