Needless to say, it was a conference unlike anything I have ever experienced! The event featured professional development workshops, community service opportunities and a roster of star-studded speakers. My favorite speaker was Serena Williams. She spoke about her legacy, not just as an athlete, but as a businesswoman and entrepreneur. I also saw Kevin Durant speak. It was really refreshing, as a minority student, to interact with and see extremely successful people that look like me. This experience was the most motivating and humbling opportunity. Meeting a variety of forward-thinking individuals was exciting \u2013 If anything, one of the biggest takeaways of the Summit was how being authentic and uncompromising to yourself and values is so important. As an undergraduate student, I can\u2019t help but wonder sometimes \u201cwhy am I working so hard?\u201d but being at the Forbes Under 30 Summit gave me reassurance that all of this hard work has not been a waste. Connecting with other amazing individuals and other motivated Under 30 Scholars really showed we all come from different walks of life and we truly all are trying to make this world a better place. This conference was able to bring people with bright ideas, but also plans to execute them. You could feel the ambition in the room each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"530\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/ship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/ship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-2.png 508w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/ship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-2-288x300.png 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In October, I attended the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Detroit as an Under 30 Scholar.
