A moment that changed my life was in my third year of high school. I accepted the fact that sometimes it’s ok to fail and make mistakes. I know no one is perfect and trying to achieve it sounds childish and overrated. There is a difference between what we know and what we believe to be true. I had to finally face the music that if I wanted to improve I had to embrace all my imperfections and mistakes. Looking back I should have realized sooner there are some failures that are just out of our control. These moments don’t define who we are, it’s the moments that come after that show who we want to be. I notice that without failure and mistakes we would never grow and change. There would be no true progress made. Just because I have accepted failure as a possibility, doesn’t mean I won’t put my best into the tasks that I try to accomplish. This moment of my life made me truly see that trying and failing is better than not trying at all.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
