If my path taught me anything worth passing on, it’s two things. The first; Don’t wait to believe in yourself. Start, and let the belief catch up. I didn’t get to Dawson believing I’d be successful, I walked in hoping for a 60. The proof came first; the confidence came after. So, whatever it is you’re afraid you can’t do, start it anyway, and let the results argue with your doubt. The second: surround yourself with people who hold you to a higher standard than you’d hold yourself. The world had already placed a label on me. But along the way, I met people who refused to see that label and saw the true potential that even I couldn’t see. They’re the reason I walked into CEGEP at all. So, find those people. And one day, become one of them for someone else.
