Today is one of those days I feel something I rarely feel — pride.
I was clearing up my inbox and came across an email I wrote to a mentor when I was in 9th grade, and was preparing for a B2 CEFR English examination. It was full of mistakes and gave off a weird tone, but by god was I determined to learn. I’m genuinely awed.
From barely being able to write an email to planning and executing a work trip to another country by myself, I’ve come a long way.
Of course, I’m not perfect, and I’m not sure 9th grade me would be proud of the hot mess I am today, but I’m sure as hell proud of who she was.
I think I’m going to let her spirit guide my next endeavours.
