BELIEVING YOU'RE ONLY VALUABLE WHEN YOU'RE ACHIEVING.
Follow for more insights on navigating your unique journey.
From the moment we step onto these historic campuses, an unspoken pressure permeates the air. We are driven, exceptional individuals, and often, our very identity becomes inextricably linked to our accomplishments. The constant pursuit of the next impressive internship, the perfect GPA, the groundbreaking project – it all subtly reinforces a dangerous narrative: our worth is conditional, dependent on our latest success. We internalize this, pushing ourselves relentlessly, fearing that any pause, any perceived misstep, will diminish us. This environment, while fostering incredible growth, can also trap us in a cycle where personal value feels tied exclusively to external validation and tangible achievement. It’s easy to forget that the journey itself, the struggles, the learning, and simply being, holds immense value. Our time here, and our lives beyond, are about more than just a list of accolades. It's about who we are developing into, the connections we make, and the quiet resilience we build. The "Ivy Identity" is powerful, but it's a part of our story, not the entire definition of our remarkable selves. Let’s remember our inherent worth exists, regardless of the next milestone.
