As a runner
I’m learning how to endure when times are hard
As an ex-tennis player
I’m learning to accept the loss of my childhood passion
As a columnist
I’m learning a lot about myself
As a lazy person
I’m learning to take breaks and embrace laziness
As a rule follower
I’m learning to trust my own judgment
As a high-maintenance person
I’m learning to embrace support from others
As a high schooler
I’m learning to prioritize my interests over others’ ideas of success
