A little introspection...
To me, being successful means...
Accomplishing goals and tasks that I set for myself no matter how big or small.
My definition of success has changed over time.
I used to think it was about what you did, but now I believe how you did it is more important.
My greatest accomplishment to date and what I’ve learned from it
Being accepted to The Juilliard School. I learned of the fulfillment that comes from recognition, and also that I was following the correct path, one that was being led solely by my heart and guts.
My biggest mistake or regret so far and what I’ve learned from it
Most of my regrets come from things I chose not to do, as opposed to things I did. Always stay willing to try things. Even if it ends up being a "mistake" you'll learn a lot from it.
An unexpected event that significantly changed my life and how it impacted me
I went to a workshop that others were using as an opportunity to get a job out of, but I was just going to for experience. I ended up with the job and it really laid the groundwork for the rest of my career choices that followed.
