The college definitely seems to be a better place for extroverted people who are willing to put themselves out their comfort zone and show initiative and innovative thinking. Academics are important, but success in college is not just about test scores or a GPA. You will be expected to demonstrate passion, creativity, leadership, and critical thinking. Take time to develop passions. One day, you’ll realize that grades aren’t everything. Right now, it’s probably difficult not to define yourself by your achievements. Take time to do something you love and create an identity for yourself. And keep up the good work. These are some of the valuable life lessons I am getting to learn at Sagarmatha.
