Biography
As a girl, Sarah Osterhaus defined success as "making money and gaining recognition." But when her father resigned his job in mid-career in search of a more satisfying professional life, Osterhaus was initially "devastated and confused." Eventually, however, she gained a respect for the importance of being happy in one's chosen profession. "The pursuit of monetary wealth can be dangerous," she says. "I am now seeking a career in something I am passionate about, something that will truly make me a success."
Since her sophomore year in high school, Sarah has devoted her time working for various volunteer organizations assisting children and women. "I feel a strong sense of social responsibility," she says.
Sarah is working toward a bachelor's degree in business and mass communications and intends to graduate in the spring of 2003. She hopes to land a job at a non-profit organization. "This way I can make a difference for those who are less fortunate."
