Because of this course, I feel more confident, more open to trying new things, and less stuck on having just one plan.

This class kind of made me realize that most people don’t actually have it figured out, especially this early on. That was honestly a relief.

This course is not about giving you answers. It is about helping you ask better questions. If you let it, it can change the way you think about your future.

Because of this course, I’m walking away with a different mindset. I’m not thinking about careers as giant, permanent decisions anymore. I’m thinking in terms of small steps, experiments, and trying things that might teach me something.
