Advice:
I believe the most valuable lesson young women should learn is to pursue what you’re good at. You will find yourself inundated with options: what classes to take, which extracurricular activities to participate in, whether or not to add an internship to your already-packed schedule.
Faced with this barrage of choice, I urge you to think: what do you like to do? What are you good at? The answer to these two questions, simple though they are, will prove to be invaluable sources of guidance, regardless of your path. Be reflective, start figuring out what you like to do, and put yourself in positions where you can do that.
