“I remember thinking, am I meant to be in this program? It took me a while to learn that my performance on a test does not define who I am. How can I grow from this instead of the failure being a stopping point?” Abby McEwan (second year iBioMed student, Health, Engineering Science and Entrepreneurship - HESE).
This is just one of the many words of wisdom shared during this episode of Brainwaves. iBioMed students and Brainwaves co-hosts, Abby and John, chat with Dr. Colin McDonald about how they've all grown from failure. Dr. McDonald is the Associate Director of iBioMed and Assistant Professor within the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He teaches the first-year iBioMed course IBEHS 1P10 where students work in teams to develop solutions to real world healthcare problems.
They each share their own personal story about challenges they've faced, how they grew from these challenges and what they learned.
If you're learning from your own personal or academic challenges, this is the episode for you!
