Learning to say ‘no’

In 2019, I gained a lot of confidence in my ability to adapt to the unknown. I transitioned into a graduate school programme that was completely different to what I had studied before.

My fall semester was when I truly felt the learning curve and found myself struggling over assignments constantly. However, I came out of the semester feeling really proud of myself for persevering through my classes, despite me giving up a lot of my social life and time. In 2020, I hope to practice more self-care and also learn the importance of saying ‘no’ to work that might overwhelm me in the future.
