What I’ve learned this summer:

• Just because you know you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do it.
• Everyone has their own unique limit. When you reach yours you’ll know about it and be sure to be comfortable with it.
• Work/Life balance is more important than you think.
• Culture really drives not only how people see the world, but the connections we make in it. Its effect is greater than you may realise. It brings people together as much as it pulls them apart.
• Ambition can be a dangerous thing and honestly there is nothing wrong with being less ambitious than most.

and the last and most important one in this list:

• Those age old adages are really true. Do what you love. Do all you can to make it your living. 

I’m now looking forward to what comes next, with a little more growth and wisdom under my belt.
