I Felt Inadequate at Times

David Wu, from San Francisco, is double majoring in Economics and Government and minoring in Asian Studies. My conversation with David is first in a mini-series of episodes with students who were in my first-year seminar their first semester at Bowdoin and who have taken a course with me in their senior year. David discusses how he thinks fellow students waste time at Bowdoin and how he overcame his culture shock to be confident in the classroom. David started a financial services business while at Bowdoin and will continue this work after graduation.
