SBA NEWSLETTER | ISSUE NO. 4
Sebastian Ross 1L REPRESENTATIVE- SECTION 1
Opportunity arises when we’re forced to make unforeseen life-adjustments. Currently, we have an opportunity to detach from certainty. In this place of uncertainty lies the opportunity to grow. Because growth manifests itself differently in each individual, consider treating yourself with kindness and patience while growing in “uncertain times.” Life’s opportunities are similar to catching fish in the ocean: Some are bigger than others, and you probably won’t catch the same one, twice. Today’s opportunity is unique, so enjoy it. It may never come again. I look forward to watching you flourish with your opportunity, even if the conditions aren’t ideal.
