When Life Gives You Lemons… Don’t Be Bitter
Part 1 of 3 events … DON’T BE BITTER!
The inception of the lemon. The lemon on the tree. We cannot pick the lemon too early. First-generation immigrant girls may experience imposter syndrome, a feeling of not fitting in and facing confidence issues by default. This session aims to explore these emotions and offer effective strategies for overcoming them. This will be followed by a student-led panel discussing all things A-Levels, University, apprenticeships and securing your first job.
We might get handed whole lemons, yet there is a lot we can do with them!
