Advice to Students
"The time you have is limited, so find what you truly want to do and commit to it. Choose to challenge yourself – whether that be academically or personally. Be cognizant of your own privilege. Hold yourself to your own expectations. If you’re going to do something, do it well. Remember that failure is a learning opportunity, and never let someone else tell you how you live your life. "
