Description

Episode 3: In this episode of The Butterfly Effect Podcast, we explore the idea that grades are the ultimate measure of success. For undocumented students, the traditional academic path is filled with barriers like financial restrictions, work limitations, and immigration uncertainties. Yet, their impact goes far beyond the classroom. We highlight how to redefine success and make meaningful contributions while pursuing higher education—affirming that grades aren’t everything and well-being are just as important as academic achievements.  Also, make sure to comment below on topics you’d like us to cover and share what is your favorite way to unwind after a stressful day.
