Thank you for sharing so vulnerably, Allana. I heard so much of my own story resonated in your own, especially when it came to grades! Growing up as an "over achiever" is a hard identity to shake, even in adulthood. It's so encouraging to hear you're unpacking it all now and learning to live out of your value in God, not numbers — it's something I'm still journeying through, too. Looking forward to reading your next pieces on this theme!
