What fears or anxieties did you have about going to college?
Before entering college I was really scared that I wouldn't be able to handle the workload. I thought that it would be too much for me and that I would end up failing my classes. I quickly noticed that I was in my head. I would take it one day at a time and school no longer felt as scary.
Do not let fear control you! People will often let their fear of doing something rule over what could've been a great opportunity or experience. It's good to go out of your comfort zone because you never know what amazing people you can meet or what life-changing experiences await.
I want to start off working at a nonprofit and possibly dive into research. Since I like working with children, I have also thought about working as a school counselor or even becoming a teacher!
I like to read on occasion and have been getting into cooking this year! I've also been trying to make meditating part of my routine so I can learn how to recenter myself in moments where I'm overwhelmed with emotions. I am also passionate about photography and hope to invest in a good camera to feed my passion. When I have free time, I enjoy going thrifting and adding new pieces to my wardrobe.
