“After my undergraduate work, it took me a few years to figure out what I wanted to do in life. I didn’t really find myself until I enrolled for my master’s degree. That’s why I always encourage my students to try out new things, such as joining clubs or meeting new people at school. These are things that can help you find yourself as a person—find your why in life. Why do you want to be here in college? Telling yourself you want to graduate with a 4.0 GPA, well, that’s just the end result. That’s just the what. If you can find the why, you’ll be laying a foundation for your personal and professional success.”
