Rachel’s advice to students: “Approach your future with an open mindset, find opportunities where you can add value, and that provide growth to you, but don’t let fear keep you there. Doors will open to new opportunities as long as you remain open to them. “Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.” Max Ehrmann”
