Just a Dash of Fear

From the application process to a couple of hours of departure, I just had a pit in my stomach. I never thought I would get to this point. Being with such incredibly talented people, you kind of get lost in the madness. There’s a lot of self-doubt running through my brain as I start to leave for the concrete jungle. I ask myself, “Am I ready to be here,” “Will I get lost,” “How do I stand out?” Trying to convince myself that I need to speak up when the opportunity comes. I’ve researched and wanted this since the beginning of the year.

That feeling. It is excitement with a dash of fear.

But as of now, I am going to go into this week with the utmost optimism and the confidence that got me here. Everything happens for a reason. And this is an opportunity of a lifetime that never comes
