St Michael’s College

“Today really inspired me, and I felt I should email to both thank you and let you in on what I believe to be a new beginning of my story. I have always dreamed big, and had big ideas But recently, I feel that that vision I have was dimming, I began to lose hope and felt like I started to conform to being ‘normal’. After your talk, I realised that if I just put work I could succeed, and that there was hope. A win from today was I also actually sat down and studied, something that I haven’t done in ages. I have definitely been gifted with my mind, but I struggle with severe ADHD, and have never been able nor learnt how to sit down and actually study. I felt so frustrated that I was unable to concentrate, and lost hope in my ability to succeed at school. After your talk, I realised that maybe I could control this, and deal the hand I was dealt, so I bit the bullet and grinded through a long study session. I hated it, but felt great after. It was the first time in a long time I focused on something like that. So thank you.”
