Listener mail:
Are there other resources that I could look into for finding scholarships? I am an Asian male in his 30s married with kids. I noticed there aren't any scholarships geared toward Asians on the current list and was wondering if any would be added in the next update.
Thank you!
Show Notes:
- Don’t try to be like someone online. You are who you are and your situation is unique.
- You are important and your citation is much different than those online.
- Although it is great to get ideas from others you need to chart your path forward.
- Not everyone is the same.
- People will want to tell you what you should do primarily based on their worldview and situation, not yours.
- That is why it is important to get an unbiased opinion from a career coach or counselor who is willing to listen to your unique situation.
- Some examples of things you might not know about the person you are following and trying to emulate.
- Their money situation may be different.
- Education different
- Family obligations.
- That is why you need to take a holistic view of your life and situation to move forward.
- Don’t try to be someone else, be yourself.
