What is something you learned in the last week? Or since joining BL? I am learning to trust myself as an engineer while also communicating efficiently. It can feel difficult to reach out to others to admit you need help, but without doing so, you will not get the help/answers you need!

Taking walks with my mom (goal of 10K steps a day); playing Animal Crossing; building houses on the Sims; binge watching TV; playing with my “puppy nephew” Caillou. What did you want to be when you grow up? My answer at kindergarten graduation was “an actuary like my dad”, but I wanted to be an architect until my cousin steered me towards civil engineering (like her).
