I accomplished a lot and I received a lot of rejections.
With my writing group, I celebrate rejections too!
WHY? Because it means I sent something out.
Rejections
- Center for Ethics and Education graduate summer institute
- Graduate Student Workshop that precedes Education Ethics: A Field-Launching Conference
- UC National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement 2020-2021 Fellows Program
- Publication into the Journal of Philosophy of Education

The only way to increase the chances of producing something great is to produce a lot.
