About Zairah Takes a Break

I made this website as a promise and commitment to myself. I have always been a perfectionist, and that remained once I got to college. The only difference between high school and college is that college gave me a well-needed reality check. I didn't really have to work hard in high school to get into USC, but that's no longer the case now that I am here. The combination of being a perfectionist and having high standards for myself drives my work ethic, as well as my commitment to becoming a doctor. However, it has also led to unrealistic expectations of myself, as well as the elimination of breaks. I'm hoping the money I am spending monthly on this website, as well as inspiration from my sister, who also made a blog, will inspire me to be disciplined. If my sister's discipline isn't enough to inspire me, maybe my mental health will. Here's to seeing the new skills I acquire, the new projects I start, and the development of my being!
