Participating in The Grit Test allowed me to thoroughly consider what I prioritize in my life and why. As I responded to the video prompts, I began to better understand the importance of dedicating yourself to activities and pursuits you deem worthy. I am incredibly thankful to have access to opportunities such as these; they provide an avenue for both self-reflection and appreciation and ease the financial stress associated with attending college.
