2021 Commencement
Keynote Speaker (Left) Me (Middle) University President (Right)
At no point in my college career did I write a goal to myself on the wall that said "I want to graduate my accounting degree with a 4.0 GPA". I was average in high school at best so my GPA was something that came through a series of good habits and decision-making processes that still helps me in life daily.
I recognize that some might feel like an academic achievement of this type is unattainable. I'm here to tell you that if
*I*
can do it, anyone can!
Here are 3 pieces of advice about
building winning habits
(that lead to achievements like 4.0 GPAs):
1.
"It's not all about balance"
Balance pushes the narrative that one has to jungle all the things they aspire to do at 100% to make it work. The truth is, you can't do everything you want to do. I made decisions throughout college to drop people, extracurriculars or even jobs that no longer served me so that I could make time for my priorities that I wanted to do the "most".
2.
"Never place your self worth on any one goal"
As a Division 1 athlete and campus leader, I went through a lot ups and downs athletically, academically and personally. However, a failure in any one of those areas was never enough to
throw
me
off track
from my goals because each one had its own unique place in my story and process. You can excel and fail at the same time in different parts of your life and that's okay.
3.
"People pleasing is the enemy"
I never once made a decision for anyone else in my college career other than me. You can't base your decisions off of how it will affect other people in your life because if they are the right people, they will support and love you no matter what. Keep yourself in mind when you make decisions to do or to NOT do something. What you choose
not to do
is just as a important as what you choose to do.
Most importantly, have fun, but not at the expense of your future dreams and goals. - Sade <3
