The reason any of us were able to step outside of our comfort zones is because of the encouragement we received from our friends, family, and Academy teachers. They encouraged us to ask questions about the limits we put on ourselves, the things we want for ourselves, and how capable we are when we let go of self-doubt. And from the unforgettable community we have found here at the Academy, forged from hard tests, long study halls, and our attempts at well-loved school traditions, we created a group of women who will always have each other’s backs as we look to the future.
