Why do you make a great Schulich Leader?
I think the most important thing is that I don’t blindly follow naive optimism, which is completely different from just plain optimism. I value hard work, ambition, and persistence over everything instead of waiting or hoping for things to be handed to me. I’ve faced many obstacles and failures in my life, but every single time, I always got back up and worked harder to be successful in whatever I do.
