My life, My card...

I’m in D.C. visiting my brother and his family, and I can’t sleep. Everyone else has gone to bed, so it’s just me and a Time magazine. While flipping through it, I noticed the American Express adverts – you know, the one in which they ask a bunch of famous people to answer some simple questions, then end it with “my card – American Express.”

So, here is mine:

My...

name: Nicholas Saadah
childhood ambition: to be an astronaut
fondest memory: spending my childhood summers in Lebanon
soundtrack: lately – The Nutcracker Suite :-)
retreat: ballet class
wildest dream: to dance professionally
proudest moment: a standing ovation after playing the lead of the Stanford Musical
biggest challenge: not obsessing about things
alarm clock: is really more of a decoration
perfect day: building houses for poor families in Uganda
first job: working at my high school’s bookstore
indulgence: candy!
last purchase: dinner for my mom and friends at Mely’s
favorite movie: Singin’ in the Rain
inspiration: Igor Youskevitch

My life: aimless, but fun
My card: has a $2,000 credit limit, which for those keeping score at home, is lower than the amount offered to college freshmen if they sign up for something for the sake of a free t-shirt!
