The first lesson that Stanford taught me is to dream big, to not put limits on what you think you can do.
The Stanford community is excellent at giving you resources to do the impossible. I’ve learned that I can actually do things that maybe I wouldn’t expect I could.
The second lesson is perseverance. I think the number of times I’ve failed here is astronomical, much more than I have succeeded. But the thing is, if you keep going past the failures, you get to the successes.
