We are happy to announce that we are starting a new weekly series on the blog where we will feature an Achiever’s thoughts on significant aspects of their lives. Our first Achiever to be featured is Avanthi! She is a junior at Boston Latin School. Avanthi enjoys math, playing the violin, and watching YouTube in her free time.
What motivates you?
I think my family definitely motivates me because they grew up in harsh environments and struggled with a lot of things. That pushes me to look past my own struggles to help society in general since my family has been through so much. They’ve also taught me a lot about being the best self you can in that moment, and not to think about the past and the future and to have no regrets. This has really pushed me to be my best self. Every interaction I’ve had with people around me pushes me to help others because I’ve found that I’m empathetic in the sense that I really want other people to be their best selves too. Teaching and supporting people in the best way I can drives me to take care of my self too.
Thank you Avanthi for sharing those amazing insights with us! Tune in next week for more Achiever wisdom.
