Humans of Vandy: Senior Riya Saxena
December 8, 2016
- Do you like chips or pretzels better?
“Chips. Both snacks are salty but I feel like the satisfaction I get from biting a chip could not be paralleled by that of a pretzel.”
- Where do you see yourself in ten years?
“Hopefully at the end of my surgical residency, because I want to be a neurosurgeon cuttin’ into people’s brains. I’ll probably already have my Nobel Prize by then. Alzheimer’s has been cured, ageing has been reversed, and I no longer have grey hairs.”
- What is your favorite place to go on the weekends?
“Costco. I go to Costco with my family and it’s good fun.”
- What are your main goals in life?
“To save people’s lives, hence the medical journey that I was talking about, and then I want to cure Alzheimer’s.”
- What is the worst quality that a person can have?
“Arrogance. I think arrogance, or having an ego, is detrimental because then people can’t see their own faults.”
