I used to wonder as a student what faculty did. Students, we stress (cry?) in our office at our incredible work loads that seem on the verge of being impossible to accomplish. We worry about every single one of you and your success. We hide a lot of this from you. #RealTalk

Aaaarghhhh. So tough to learn which voices to enflame and which to challenge. Have people in your life to help you remove “should” and make commitments like today I “will” or “will not.” Then. Let. It. Go. That last bit is still hard for me btw.

In job interviews and college admissions, we focus too much on what candidates have accomplished, and too little on what obstacles they've overcome. The true measure of people's potential is not the height of the peak they've reached, but how far they've climbed to get there.
