Moments of self-doubt transformed into fuel for curiosity, and the pursuit of balance a journey where I celebrate each step in a long journey, not just the destination.The campus scale is grand. We need to ride a bike or take a bus to go to school. Tiresome as it sometimes be, I really enjoy cycling in a tailwind, so easy and flowing. But even more so, I embrace the headwind.
