💙😌💙 I can finally rest. I started my grad school application in the beginning of March working on my personal statement, resume, + letter of recs! It has been a journey, a lot of working on my own self-limiting beliefs to get to this place of beating my imposter syndrome, of asking for help, + just learning to let things fall into place without force. Learning how to get out of my own way + just let things flow. No matter how much I can prepare, it’s going to come down to my energy, the way I communicate my story, + learning to find peace within the process! It was a 3 hour interview whew, that was unexpected, but I am so deeply grateful for this experience to be heard + to hear everyone’s story it was inspiring! I didn’t have a sense of “no or yes” it was like I finally found peace within myself to go after something that once felt so unattainable, a life long dream! To hear the professor reassuring me that my “job as a creative” though it’s not viewed as a “job job” was still a job + to tell me to not sell myself short was something I needed to hear. I was the only candidate who did not have classroom experience or a job at a school, the lone wolf whose an artist mentor haha but I’m so glad I put myself out there with the little experiences I did have! Now it’s in the universe’s hands if I get accepted into my dream school, thank you everyone for the support + love! I couldn’t do it without y’all, my students, + my support system on here 🥹🫂
