A Letter to Future Trainees
You are not expected to begin this journey as a finished professional. You are simply being asked to begin.
This Blog Was Never Just About School
I wondered whether crossing the graduation stage would naturally signal the end of this space. Would there still be something meaningful to say once the structure of classes, assignments, internship hours, and academic quarters came to an end? Well, that stage has now arrived.
