I’m not perfect, but then again who is 😂 and I really like this post idea exactly for that reason! 😃 I hope it makes me more human to you all 😍 My journey in STEM has not been smooth… it took a lot of time and effort to get where I am today 🥵 I hope this shows you a bit of that 😁
☀️

☀️
And I absolutely don’t consider my journey a “failure” in any sort of way 🤓 It’s just mine 😊 and I don’t fit into that “expected” category in terms of how life should go 😎 and I actually like that! It’s allowed me to do so many different things that I otherwise wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to do 😋 
☀️
☀️
☀️
So we’re calling it failures here but they’re not bad things 😊 I’ve still managed to get where I want to go 🤩 and I’m excited to see what I’ll fail at next 😃 and what kind of adventures that will bring with it 🥳 Failures always do make for the best stories ✨
