What is a quote that inspires you, and why?

“For there is always light, if only we are brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to do it.”

This quote inspires me with the need to be brave enough to see the positive light in every situation. Actively seeking the good and focusing on positive aspects is a hard thing to do. Going through so many transitions in college, this quote was a reminder that one of the things you can always control is your attitude. Having faith in a better future, even when facing hardship, can also become a source of hope and inspiration for creating change for not only yourself but for others as well!

Describe a way you implement wellness and taking care of yourself?

Some advice I received was to always make sure you're finding ways to feed your mind, body, and soul. For your body, do fun things that make you stay active, find time to relax, and make sure you are filling your body with good food! For your soul, It's also doing things aside from school that make you happy. It could literally be anything! Lastly, for your mind, make sure you are checking in with yourself, getting enough sleep, and studying responsibly!
