Thriving Through Adversity - My 3M National Student Fellowship Application #FoodForThought ― Shwetha Chandrashekhar This is my sixth (and final) year as an undergraduate student – albeit not consecutively. Stories such as mine are often unheard of and not explicitly and voluntarily narrated. Perhaps because at first glance, stories such as mine tend to be grasped as outlandish, and more so, as constructions of failure rather than excursions of growth and resilience. Despite the potential stigma which may shadow those who walk unconventional roads, I want to share my struggles and triumphs as a post-secondary student because stories such as mine are stories of several other students across Canada and across the world as well. They illustrate current-day battles post-secondary students everywhere face and attempt to fight on a daily basis. Moreover, they speak and spell clearly on the need for change in higher education in this transient moment of here and now.
