Imposter Syndrome is the experience of debilitating doubt of skill and talent despite evidence of success. While a common symptom of high achievers and perfectionists, imposter syndrome is frequently the consequence of discrimination, bias, stereotypes, racism, and elitism. Imposters dwell in a persistent fear of being exposed as incompetent or inadequate, a fear that triggers self-doubt, anxiety, burnout, stalled growth, externalization of success, and avoidance. To disrupt this phenomenon for our students, we are asking graduates to share their college and careerstories to normalize the experience. These are their stories.
EPISODE 6: We'll be talking with Lincoln Seniors Mia Perez, Daisy Rosales, and Haran Mancilla to figure out what they will be doing post high school. They'll be asked about their plans, their fears, their excitement, and about how prepared they feel to take the next step.
