Most embarrasing moment: When I was in 7th grade I ate lunch in the cafeteria and one day a week they would serve stromboli, it was the best thing to eat at lunch. So you had to rush there to get it because people would eat it really fast and if you were late to lunch you wouldn’t get any stromboli. So my building had three floors and I had class on the third floor and the cafeteria was on the first floor so I had to book it out of class and was racing down the stairs to get to the cafeteria and I am on the last flight of stairs and my foot gets caught in the railing and it twists and I fall flat on my face. People start laughing at me and I get up like “no big deal I’m fine” and I start hopping on one foot to the line to wait for my stromboli and my foot really hurts so I go to the nurse and it turns out I completely fractured all the bones in my foot. And I never got stromboli.
Best advice you have ever received: Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone for stuff because you could be really surprised with what happens.
What’s next for Nathan Strauss: Next up is hopefully getting a job and sticking around in DC for a couple of years.
