“I think my greatest fear is failure. I’m afraid of working my whole life but not making a difference. I’m afraid of putting myself out there only to be turned down. I’m afraid of never being able to do anything right. I’m afraid of disappointing those who believed in me. If I don’t take a leap of faith sometimes, even if I’m afraid I’ll fall, then that will inevitably lead to failure–it will lead to the very thing I was afraid of.” – sophomore Fiona Dunlop
