[QUOTE="Lawlawland, post: 230490, member: 42462"] Hi Madison, Brave of you share this, and I'm pretty sure most of the people here, including me, can resonate a lot with it. We're all "high achievers" in textbook. Globally ranked University? Straight As? Triple Distinctions? Law? STEM? MBA? Government recognition for volunteering? Leadership roles in uni? You name it, we have it all... But why aren't we getting through the stringent application process? I've beaten myself up for all of it so much. But then one day I realised... They aren't looking for a reason to choose you. They're looking for a reason TO NOT CHOOSE YOU. And the best thing you could do for yourself is to not let that determine your self worth. You've been all the amazing things that you are. But remember, you can be a right person at a wrong place. The rejection speaks less about your "qualification" or "worthiness" and says a lot about the firm's suitability for you. I understand it's frustrating to not know what life holds for you down the line, especially when we're not financially loaded and all we have is our academic excellence and skillset, which is put to question when such rejections come through. I see you, I'm on the same terrain with you. But I want to tell you what I tell myself (and fail most times). Please be kind to yourself. You'll get through this, you've always been and you shall again! As cliche as it sounds, rejection is redirections. Keep your hope alive. There ll always be a silver lining in things happen to you, which you may not realise until years later when the realisation comes through. Sending you strength, warmth and courage! You'll be fine ♥️ [/QUOTE]
