Samir: Choosing a Path
Channel: Flipping Failure
Date: 2020-02-12

A Course 16 major, Samir finds himself conflicted about whether or not to accept a coveted internship offer from JPL. Samir found himself questioning his path, a path to become an aerospace engineer that he had been so sure of since childhood. Conversations with his mentor, taking time to explore his non-aerospace interests, and reminding himself to keep things in perspective, helped Samir realize that decisions that he makes today don’t necessarily determine what he will be doing in 20 or 30 years.
