“So, the same process happened again. I had an interview but then got wait listed again. And I say this because I hear so many stories of people, of how they got somewhere and they just succeeded, and I feel bad because I’m like, ‘Why is everyone else just getting what they want and I’m not and so I think it is important to share the stories of failure or, you know, not being accepted into something because I think that is so important. And then when I actually talk to people and they tell me oh no I applied to this and this and didn’t get any of that. And I’m like Oh I didn’t know, I had no idea.”
