Be your own hero
Going forward I plan to work more on my physical health. It's about time to go back to the gym, and to get healthier sleep. My career goals haven't changed much. I still want to become a researcher, but am torn between microbes and genetics. Maybe I'll do both. If I could offer any advice to fellow students it would be simply, "Don't give up." Even if you have to slow down, keep moving forward. There have been times in my life where I thought, "If I hadn't quit _______, just because of ________, I would be ________ by now." Don't let dreams and excuses fill in these blanks. Instead, write your story as, "Even though I was struggling with________, I found a way to__________, and I am still on my way to fulfilling my dream of___________. " Be the hero in your own story. You are the author. You get to choose.
