View this post on Instagram How very excellent. #Repost @racheljsimmons (@get_repost) ・・・ In 1999 I dropped out of the Rhodes Scholarship and thought I'd never get out of bed again. I had no tools to cope with failure. I never dreamed I would use that experience as an educator and a researcher–or that @jessicabennett would write a story about it for the New York Times. Feeling grateful beyond for @smithcollege and especially @jessbacal for believing in my work. A post shared by Smith College (@smithcollege) on Jun 26, 2017 at 12:53pm PDT
