I have been
daring to do more. This month I have
applied for a high-profile fellowship. I have asked myself ‘Why not me?’
Looking at the previous participants, I have the same education and experience.
The only difference is that they have applied and I have not; therefore, I’ve
asked myself ‘Why not me?’ Applying is great because it removes the boundary
that only certain people can become fellowships. Why not me and why not be the
first? I have transferred this same mentality while preparing for my TEDx talk.
My graduate school alma mater is
cosponsoring a Tedx talk. Immediately I watch YouTube videos of previous Tedx
talks to see what they are looking for. It is essential to do some research to
improve my chances of being selected. I know that I have an in because of my
education, experience and securing external distinction. Since I am a Small
Business Book Award judge on the first try, I know that I can land a TEDx talk
spot. I have the education, skills and
the life story that connects with the audience. Why not me? Who else if not I?
