People call me "talented" for securing research internships at Cambridge and LSE. But you know what? My secret to success is only a minuscule part talent. Here's my secret to success:

It's more about consistency and persistence. I've been reaching out to labs and professors for over a year and a half, and I've received 50 rejections before finally landing these amazing opportunities.

I focus on enjoying the process of research, challenging myself, and improving my skills every single day
