As a student pursuing a STEM degree, I am still incredibly ambitious and hard working. I am still pursuing this field of interest because I know that I have the qualities and talents necessary to succeed in it. I see myself belonging in the field because this is a field that requires hard working people with a variety of different talents, which is what I bring to the table. My sense of STEM identity has improved since last fall mainly due to the network+ certification I earned. My fears have not changed. One of the steps that I have taken to ensure a fulfilling life as a person is beginning to go to the gym to have a good work-life balance.
