I tried competing against them to prove myself, but I struggled more than ever to stand out and feel accomplished. My peer group became some of the smartest and most talented people in the country. Law school drastically changed my perspective of the world. I felt safe in this comfort zone I’d created. I believed I was outshining my peers, boosting my ego. Thanks to all the achievements, my self-worth was high. I earned the best grades I could, secured a full-ride scholarship to a local university, and soon enough ended up at one of the top law schools in the country. I grew up as a gifted kid with high expectations to boot, always pushing myself to meet them. Now what if you never had to measure your self-worth again? That is what I want to do. How do you measure your self-worth? By the salary you make each year? By the number of lines on your resume? By the amount of people who follow you on social media? You have nothing to prove to anyone.” ~Maya Angelou
