As someone who wakes up early every day to support my family, works hard to save for college, and is passionate about leadership and business, how can I stay consistent and avoid burnout while chasing my big dreams? What advice do you have for staying focused and motivated when life feels heavy but the goals are important?
I’m a high school senior graduating this May, and I’ve been working hard to prepare for college while also helping my family. Every morning I wake up at 5 AM to take my mom to work before heading to school myself. On top of school, I’m involved in leadership programs like Civic Leadership Academy and the Bank of America Leadership Program because I’m passionate about business, leadership, and making a difference. I’ve also taken on projects like organizing a school supply drive to support other students in my community. Even with these responsibilities, I’m working, saving money, and applying for scholarships to help ease the financial stress of college. Sometimes it feels like I’m juggling so much at once, and I worry about burnout, but I’m committed to my goals. I would love advice from someone who understands what it feels like to carry a lot on their plate while chasing something bigger for themselves and their family. How do you stay consistent, take care of yourself, and keep showing up when the journey gets tough?
