All I Ever Needed Was Affirmation and Some Positive Energy

I'm not saying that everyone should live their lives searching for affirmation and positive feedback and energy from other people, because you really need to be able to affirm yourself and give your own self positive reinforcement...

But I'd be lying too, if I said that affirmations don't do much. Because it does.

One of my professors pulled me aside to say that he thought I did a really excellent job on our group presentation, that he thought I was really quiet and laid-back, but that I really shined while we presented.

This is probably one of the greatest compliments I've ever gotten while at Berkeley. At any large university, you can really start to feel like just a number, just a student among thousands, and forget about what makes you special, what makes you, you.

And in one small comment, my professor did that for me.

He made me remember that I am not a grade. I am not my GPA. I am not an SAT score or potential GRE or LSAT score. I am not any digit or number.

I'm just me.

:)

So for all those folks out there, thanks for always providing that extra positive reinforcement that helps remind me of who I am.

And I hope I can do that for you too. Just let me know. I'm just an email or text or call away.

Much love.
