Yes, I might not yet know if I've been rejected from Oxford University or not, but at least spending the last 3 days as a judge on an admissions panel felt like the ego boost I needed. I also often underestimate young people because wow, I was getting emotional at how insane some of these applications were. I am on the jury of a fancy global competition called the Learning Planet Youth Design Challenge where over 3,000 young people submitted projects to solve an educational problem in their local community to win funding and mentorship.
