Alyza Keshavjee, Harvard MBA Class of 2011“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

An explosion is followed by foreign army tanks, men pushing, women yelling, and children screaming. I turn the other way and she runs to me, arms widespread, green eyes illuminated, light brown hair flowing, smiling ear to ear. “What’s wrong?” she asks.

Growing up in Kabul, she has grown all too familiar with the sound of war. Equivalent in age yet brought up in separate worlds, she looks at me in awe, curious about my confidence but surprised by my fear. Will she ever know what life could be like otherwise?
