Here's Ana's story:

Feeling lost and unsure after quitting my job, I was overwhelmed with ideas but lacked direction. Then, a question in Kori's program quiz struck a chord: "Do you have a lot of ideas swimming in your head and not sure what to take action on?" That was me!

Despite initial worries about the program's effectiveness and guilt about leaving my old job, Kori's flexible approach eased my concerns. There were even times I paused to focus on exams.

A key takeaway was identifying and challenging my inner critic. That negative voice used to hold me back, but I learned to work with it and trust my instincts. Now, I can even embrace quieter moments.

The results? I passed my Engineer in Training exam, connected with inspiring people, and created a solid plan. I'm even more goal-oriented!

But the journey went beyond career goals. I discovered a love for sketching nature and origami, something I never expected. My drawing of Trinity Park in Fort Worth is a source of pride. Tapping into my creativity allowed me to work through my anxieties and guilt.

Looking back, I would tell myself to worry less and take more action. Reaching out for help and exploring hobbies like drawing and exercise helped manage my anxieties.

Fast forward two years!

I returned to grad school at the Colorado School of Mines and landed a dream internship at the company I've always wanted to work for! Life continues to be a wild ride, but things are finally coming together. I've weathered the initial storm and am now finishing up my first semester of grad school. Looking back, I've come so much further than I ever imagined. This experience of chasing my dreams has been transformative, and I can't wait to see what the future holds!

If you're stuck in a career rut, I urge you to face your fears and pursue your dreams. It's about the journey, not just the destination. You'll make friends, discover hidden talents, and find that people are more willing to help than you think.
