“The future starts today, not tomorrow" - Pope John Paul II
I think it is very helpful to remember that we have the power to control our future. Even though there are times when we swear we have been lucky or a randomly amazing opportunity has come our way, more of that has to do with the hard work we have already invested.
It's probably easier to tell yourself "it wasn't meant to be" instead of "I didn't work as hard as I should have". So, hard work and confidence go a long way!

Day 3
"My heart is in the work" - Andrew Carnegie
This quote is meaningful to me as Carnegie Mellon University is my alma mater. Throughout my four years of undergrad, I learned that everyone around me had an intense passion for their designated field of study. I too focused on working towards something I always had a passion for: helping others. That path led me to a complete a Master's in Public Health, several internships, a residency, and arrive at a career in health policy and management.
Reflecting on the path I took, I can see that my heart was into helping people, and that is the reason why I have been able to make it my work.
