If you haven’t already seen “Whiplash”, the movie about a kid grinding his way seeking to earn the respect of his teacher, I recommend it.
Watching this movie reminds me a part of my life where I was won a 60K AUD (50K USD) scholarship from a state University in Australia. Now you must be thinking how is this related to Whiplash? You see, in Whiplash the kid was really competing not with others, not with his teacher, but himself. Except mine was a lot longer than a 2 hour movie. It’s a 13 year journey through time and space. The journey called education, and the journey of oneself.
How far can you push yourself?
