“I believe the best things in life come in unexpected packages. So, when opportunities present themselves I have made it my life motto to always say yes. The best experiences of my life happened when I was asked to do something outside of my comfort zone and I did it. I became student body vice president when my friend asked me to do it with him even though I had a paralyzing fear of public speaking, and I learned some of the most valuable life skills and opened many doors for my future. I overcame my biggest fear – sharks – by just saying yes to the opportunity. Thus, I have learned in order to grow into the person I want to be I have to never let an opportunity pass me by. This has taught me me that I must follow any inkling of curiosity to maximize my chance of finding my passion.”

Make Space for Side Projects with LifeSpace
Share your journey and why this is important to you
The endeavor to find a passion: this is the dream of every current student and young adult. Thus, it is important to me to aspire in the same way. I am making space for side projects in order to try as many different things that interest me to find a path I want to follow. The idea of finding things that pique my interest and following them into projects allows me to figure out what I do and don’t want out of jobs, hobbies, and life. This is the most fun way and efficient way to conduct a trial and error with my future path.

How would you like to inspire others?
I would like to inspire others to make small changes to create space in their lives. Little things matter. The small changes compound on one another and cause a ripple effect. I want to inspire the little idea of changing one no into a yes. By saying yes one time and having a positive experience, it could change an attitude and lead to something better. So, say “yes” to making just a little bit of space in your lives to hopefully lead you to an unexpected better path.
