Tips and strategies for goal setting and time management

NOTABLE QUOTES:

“If you’re sending out 20 outreach emails and only getting two responses, you can definitely improve that.”

“We can’t just sit in front of a computer and hope that others will reach out to us.”

“Your GPA is your number one priority. If that gets messed up, then your SAT score cannot redeem your GPA.”

“The fastest way to expand your Passion Project is to get more people’s eyeballs to be on your Instagram and website.”
