My brother Jay just got notified that he will be awarded the Commuter Award by Chicago Booth School of Business. He will be recognized at an award ceremony and will get to shake the Dean's hand! For those that don't know Jay's story, he works a full time job in Richmond, VA Monday through Friday and then hops on a plane to Chicago every Friday evening. He has become a regular at a Chicago hostel. He attends classes for his MBA on Saturday and Sunday and then flies back Sunday evening in order to get to work Monday morning. Oh yeah....and he's president of the marketing club...incredible, right? "The commuter award is awarded annually to weekend students who fly a great distance on a weekly basis for class, while also playing an active role in the Booth Community.
I'm so proud of you Jay! I could never do what you are doing. It takes an incredible amount of drive and self-discipline and I am so glad you are getting recognition for this crazy schedule you're calling life for the next three years.
