Transcript. What follows is a transcript of the video above, in Bowen Tabola’s own words. It has not been rewritten, and no part of it was drafted for them.
One of my teachers from high school that has inspired me and stuck with me as I've gotten into college was my physics teacher who taught me to learn how to enjoy learning. That it's not always just about getting the grade or about always getting something right, but it's about taking risks, getting things wrong, and learning from the mistakes that you make. It's really helped me as I've gotten into college, as I've taken harder and harder classes, that I'm actually learning to love what I'm doing and continuing to learn in different aspects of my life.
