Defining experience to go to SAPL
During a lunch-and-learn at work, as an architectural product representative gave a presentation, I saw the work of a U of C graduate used as an impressive example of positive societal impact through effective design. If the SAPL could pave the road for such an influential career, I wanted in.
How my mom would describe me in three sentences
1.) Impressively articulate - I can find the right words to dig myself into a hole like none other
2.) Confusingly multilingual - "Are you sure you remember that English is your native language? Nobody knows what you're saying..."
3.) Extremely determined - I'm gonna get it done, the right way, no matter what.
