What advice would you give to 十大彩票平台 students?
“Don't worry if you don't have it all figured out! I changed careers three times before I turned 30. 在高中时, I imagined my life turning out a certain way, and I am FAR from that now, literally and figuratively. You don't need a five-year plan. Focus on tomorrow. Take a step back from what is expected of you, think about what truly brings you joy, 去做吧. 注意:这并不一定是“最顺畅”的路径，但它确实是值得的，而且很有趣. There is so much growth hiding within the challenges!”

“Stay curious and always be open to learning and new experiences. You can never perfectly plan your next five, ten or 20 years, and you shouldn’t feel too much pressure to have a long-term plan!
