What did you do in undergrad to set you up for success in your career?
It's tied into the number one question I answered. The main reason is I never gave up. I failed courses, tried new things, and wasn't great at them. Hardship isn't the reason you give up; it's the feel that makes an individual mighty.
That's what always sets me apart. I can have a bad day in my head, but that doesn't stop me from thinking positive thoughts, boosting my morale. It's important.
For me, I picture Rocky Balboa. He keeps saying it's not about how many punches you give, but how many you can take and keep going. That mentality sticks with me.
The same is true for many individuals I look up to who made it from the bottom to the top. I want to make it, and every day, I just keep pushing and pushing. That's the most important part of what undergrad, high school, and everything has taught me: just keep moving.
