o ** Bio ** : Hey! My name is Susan Rice and I was born on November 17, 1964 and am currently 45 years old. I was raised in Washington D.C. I grew up with one brother, John Rice. He received his MBA from Harvard and has been very successful since starting his own non-profit organization. My father, Emmett Rice, was a professor at Cornell University teaching mainly economics. My mother, Lois Dickinson Fitt, found success by becoming a scholar at the Brookings Institute. My parents made it apparent to me that I should receive a good education. By sending me to the Nation Cathedral High School for Girls I received this and also enjoyed my time there. I was not only smart but I excelled in athletics as well. I played three sports but my favorite was basketball. By being the starting point-guard I felt as if I had to be the leader on the team. I believe this gave me the confidence that I have today. I also excelled greatly in school and ended my senior year the valedictorian of my class. To start my political career I succeeded in becoming my student council’s president. After high school I attended university at Stanford. There I met my husband Ian O. Cameron. He currently is employed at ABC News. I graduated Stanford with a Bachelor’s degree in History. I then went on to the New College in Oxford on a scholarship, where I received my Master of Philosophy and also Doctor of Philosophy. My parents always stressed to me that I should not use race as an excuse or advantage in becoming successful. My first job after school was being a consultant for McKinsey & Company. Soon I worked on the campaign for Bill Clinton and was rewarded with a job working under him. Currently I am working for the United States government as the United States’ U.N. Ambassador. I am loving my job and my family! Enjoy my page! =====
