Listen Later

Are you doing a bunch of different things and getting overwhelmed by what’s on your plate? In this episode of Demystifying College Admissions, I will be interviewing my student, Christina, about how she discovered a common theme to her long list of extracurriculars, consolidated her energy into one passion project, and then scaled it. Tune in to hear Christina’s zeal and dedication that will inspire/motivate you to start your own passion project.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:

  • How you can prove you are passionate about something by showing rather than telling
  • What you can learn through your passion project journey
  • How Julie mentors her students with a growth mindset
  • Why Christina loves the Conquer College Admissions Facebook Group

NOTABLE QUOTES:

  • “We always want to be able to allocate our energy and time to what’s really going to make a difference in the application process.”
  • “A lot of people can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?”
  • “Through this project, I’m putting action behind those words.”
  • “I think I gained a lot of self-esteem.”
  • “But right now, you can be the living proof that you can push for the changes that you wish to see in this world.”
  • “You pushed me to my full potential.”
