No one tells you how to survive in college
“And anything you want, you can have. So claim it. Work hard to get it. When you get it, reach back pull someone else up. Each one, teach one. Don’t just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
