International Students Week reminder: Being on a whole different continent chasing degrees, careers, and dreams is already a FLEX. ✨
On my fraternity brother ’s podcast , we talked about how so many of us, especially people of color, downplay our wins. Like, “Yeah I’m here, I’m doing the thing… but I should be doing more.” That hits hard for international students and international student-athletes.
New country. New system. Visa stress. Family counting on you. And still the voice in your head says, “It’s not enough.”
I had to check myself too — Spero is thriving, my kid is thriving… this is not the Humble Olympics. 😅
If you’re an international student (or were one), drop ONE thing you’re proud of in the comments. Big or small. Let’s practice saying it out loud instead of shrinking it. 🌍💬
