“My education constellation consists of six shining stars,” she wrote. “They are knowledge, responsibility, perseverance, reflection, creativity and social skills. Let’s explore these stars!”
“When you have gained knowledge and skills, you can be a dynamic individual,” she added. “When you become responsible, people will…count on you. When you have perseverance, you build the ability to conquer any problem. When you learn from your mistakes, you have the opportunity to reflect and become a better version of yourself. When you have creativity, you gain the bravery to explore unique ideas. When you have good social skills, you might excel in a job where you have to talk to people.”
She said, “One star may not be special by itself but when multiple stars connect, a constellation is born. So look up at the sky, connect the stars of your education, and make your constellation of success.”
