“Growing up I have never questioned my academic ability. However, I have always struggled to do things out of my comfort zone, making it hard to take advantage of the opportunities presented to me. That said, my parents have been extremely influential in my success by pushing me out of my comfort zone countless times, allowing me to experience things that shaped the person I am today and teaching me that these opportunities are never as scary as they seem.”
