Please follow your dreams, even if you don’t entirely believe in yourself. All throughout high school and university, I was the type of girl to be filled with anxiety and the thought that I would never actually reach my goals because I wasn’t smart or confident enough.

In August, I decided to take a massive jump and apply for an internship following my passion. It was in a different city to mine (also, I am from New Zealand, so was actually on a completely different island) in a place where I know nobody, have never been to before, and is for the largest research institute in my country. Even applying for it was something that I found hard, writing a CV just caused panic attacks and I was becoming sick due to stress, however I did it anyway.

Last week, I received a call to say that they were offering me the position. 

I am about to face my fears and leave everything behind to do what I love. I will be leaving my job, my family, and my friends to start fresh. I am now working for a project that is looking at water quality and land restoration in my country. Something I have been interested and passionate about since I began high school almost 10 years ago.

Please follow your dreams, even if you don’t believe in yourself. We need to learn to stop comparing ourselves to others and be more confident in ourselves and to love ourselves and each other. If you don’t follow your dreams, you will never reach them.
