Very excited to read your research, Flavia! Your reflections on feeling daunted by the academic world is something I'm sure many can relate to - feeling like you're the only one who doesn't have everything completely figured out. I am so glad you were able to gain your confidence back!

Such an intriguing and witty blogpost, Ava! I was invested in your one-sided Laidlaw friendship until the very end.  Truly a fascinating friend to have.

I was in complete suspense reading this reflection, Giorgi! It can be tough to talk about the moments in leadership that don't go to plan, but these are often the times that force you to reassess, ideate and come up with something even better. A smooth-sailing project can definitely make you complacent. Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your journey!

This is such a humorous and raw reflection, Aisha! I loved hearing about the different ways you managed to connect with the children and leveraged the things that make them tick - knowing your audience is so important.

Incredible reflection, Vaibhav! The level of detail truly brings the reader along on your journey. It was inspiring to read about the diverse projects the scholars took on, as well as your thoughtful reflections on personal growth and leadership. I especially appreciated your insight on recognising what you can and can’t control as a leader — such a valuable mindset. Well done!
