I am fortunate that upper-level students set incredible examples for me. I look to the more senior research assistants in my lab as inspiration for my future honors thesis. Shoutout to Hya and Izzy: Their hard work, dedication, and overall knowledge about psychological research are beyond inspiring and help me see where I want to be in a few years. Alex and Emily, the current co-presidents of the Cornell University Diversity Admissions Ambassadors, motivate me in my ambassador work, and their ability to problem solve even in the most stressful situations is not only inspiring but comforting because I can go to them with any problem and they help me unpack it. Finally, Alhassan was my Cornell Undergraduate Research Board Chair and is the perfect example of doing it all; I watched him lead our team flawlessly while taking 20+ credits and holding about a million other positions and commitments. I wouldn't be half as confident and put together without each of these inspirations!
