Wendy Zhou grew up believing perfection was everything.

The problem was, it left her feeling like she was nothing.

“When I look back, the pressure of perfection was like a shadow over me,” says the Master of Arts in Tourism Management student. “I felt like I was always living in a world where the only good kids were good at everything. I just somehow felt like everyone was better than me.”

In her International Ed Talk, Zhou speaks about learning to embrace herself and the RRU teammates who helped her to see the unique gifts she had to offer.
