I was through as a manager. I did become involved late in the 1968 campaign at the national scene at the last minute. But I was through as a manager, and I've stayed through, incidentally.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was on leave from local and regional politics, as long as I was a Minister.
Eventually I became involved with somebody, and I was fired.
I knew if I wanted to be a general manager, I was going to have to leave to work for another organization.
I wasn't the one managing my career back then, that was the problem - I was 14 years old.
I've been involved in and out of the U.N. for many years - in fact my first internship was in 1971, so it goes back a couple of years!
I was involved in a bunch of school activities - I was a cheerleader, I was on the chess team, I was vice president of my class.
I spent two years in the military service, then I trudged around in repertory for quite a while. I somehow wound up at the National Theatre, though, and then I was definitely on my way.
I was a public affairs officer. I worked with the media, but I didn't just stay at my desk. I assisted in military duties, travelled around Anbar province, hung out with a wide variety of Marines.
I started out in public service in 1998 after the Asian financial crisis of '97.
I was involved as deputy mayor in New York City on 9/11.
