Lessons from a CFY 21

While we are a CFY, we are also human. We are likely to have challenges that arise outside of work. These can be so stressful and affect our ability to focus and even to basic daily tasks. I had an instance like this this week, and I only shared it with close family to prevent my support system from worrying about me. However, when I finally did share with my friends, they all were very supportive and wanted me to tell them so they can support me. I kept telling myself they had enough to worry about and I didn’t want to cause unnecessary stress. My close friend told me if I am worried and stress, I should share that with my support system, so now I know that I will, no matter what. I am so fortunate to have people in my life that are here for me unconditionally. Thank you to all of these people. I am so grateful.
