Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

James Clear, Atomic Habits

As you plan out success for this quarter, what does that mean to you personally?

Whew. This is a very important question for me right now. But the success of this quarter means to me that I reach out when I need help. That I’m in constant communication with my peers and advisors. And that I’m making time for joy. I’ve noticed lately that because I’m trying so hard to keep up with a difficult academic quarter that my prioritization for making time for joy is declining. Which is a vicious cycle because the less joy I’m experiencing the less inspired and creatively fueled I feel.

To sum up what personal success means to me:

Showing up for all the conversations despite fear

Asking for help when I need it

Slowing down, but never giving up

And creating some amazing, empathy driven work and ventures

I wasn’t able to attend the E&I field trip BUT I did ask some peers and they had great feedback!
