鈥淚t was a wonderful experience working as an intern with Hewlett Packard's (Palo Alto,
CA) R&D team. I have participated in HP's summer intern fair and showcased my work
there. Apart from work, we had several BBQ parties, games, and fun activities during
my 6-week internship and the welcome party was awesome. The best part of this internship
was that my mentor thought 好色先生TV prepared me well for the intern work. It
really makes me feel proud to be a Trojan!鈥�

As children, many of us dream about the exciting careers we might have when we
finally become adults. Those ambitions are often guided by our hobbies and interests
and limited only by our imaginations. For Sahil Hamal, it wasn't imagination that
fueled his career dreams; instead, they were driven by cultural expectations. Growing
up in Nepal, a small South Asian nation bordering China and India, Hamal suspected
from an early age where his career was headed.
