Mother gave Condi a tireless music education when she was a child. When Condi was four years old, he mastered some tunes and gave his first recital. The rice family believes in a harsh truth: only when children do twice as much as white children can they be equal; Three times as tall, you can surpass each other. Her parents told her that there are more opportunities outside Birmingham, and if she studies hard and strives for the top, she will be rewarded. "You may not be able to eat hamburgers in restaurants, but you may become the president." Condi believes in her parents' judgment, and she continues to work towards the goal of "twice as good"-first of all, in sports. In addition to continuing to study the piano, she also began to learn tennis and figure skating, both of which are excellent. She gets up at 4: 30 every morning and goes to the skating rink to practice her footwork, from spinning, sideslip, forward, crossing and tiptoeing to combination movements and double skating.
One day in the spring semester, she found a new goal. That class is an introduction to international politics, and that class mainly focuses on Stalin. This professor is Yue Se Cobb, the father of former Secretary of State madeleine albright. "This course resonated with me," she said later. "It's like being in love ... I can't explain it, but it really attracts me." Dr. Cobb was infected by her wisdom and passion and encouraged her to study in the School of International Relations. Cobb became the "father of intellectuals" in Condi's life.
Condi began to study political science and Russian, but he didn't close the door to learning music. This background finally made her one of the few senior government officials who studied music. Russian is called "a language that takes ten years to learn".
1977 In the summer, as part of the research, Condi made a domestic trip. For the first time, she had the opportunity to begin to understand the military structure of the United States. She went to Washington, D.C. and worked as an intern at the Department of Defense and the Pentagon for several weeks. Then I went to the Rand Company for an internship. RAND Corporation is very suitable for studying international security issues, including the trends of world political, military and economic development, the potential causes of regional conflicts and the potential threats to American security.
