As an Asian transfer student, how has that impacted how you've navigated your career?
Most of the time, I'm on my own. But at the same time, there are other people in my situation. So, definitely ask for help. Don't have such a big ego.
Ask for help, and people are really nice. When you ask, people are happy to help you. If you face any problem, talk about it. There will be someone out there to lend you a hand and help you get through it.
