I think when you put yourself out there, you learn more about yourself and how much you're capable of, and you should have known then in college! Becky, you’re right.

You have always been good about setting an example for your peers about being motivated to diversify your experience and aim high when it comes to aspirational internships and activities. I have to admit, I was someone that sometimes felt like an underdog and it ultimately held me back from pursuing leadership opportunities as an undergrad. Now that I've graduated, I look back at missed opportunities and hope that others understand they can maximize their time in college by just going for it--whatever goal it is. As time passes, they will get better at understanding how their experiences relate to each situation and get better at explaining that relevance. This translates directly to interview skills. Good for you for posting this and helping people get out of their own way. You rock. Great post, Nick!
