There are so many things that can happen that are completely out of anyone’s control. The only thing that you will always have control of is your reaction to what happens to you. When you do that, finding a sense of success usually comes naturally.
Emma Byers, Community Engagement Coordinator at Turing School, didn’t envision her life to go the way it has. As she went into college, she was deceived by an easy freshman year that everything was going to be great from then on. Though, in Emma’s sophomore year, she found herself really struggling with her mental health causing it to be difficult to function. Luckily through support from staff, friends, and family, Emma was able to come out stronger and continue her college journey. Now, Emma is able to use her story to connect with students in their college experience.
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Emma joins Joanna to share her journey going from struggling to live life, to now using her story and the support she has experienced to pay it forward to struggling students.
