"One of the biggest things that I have learned through my time at McGill is to always carry hope and kindness with me. I genuinely believe that by being hopeful about positive change and bringing kindness into whatever we choose to do, we will be able to make a positive change in the world. We will be able to find solutions for some of these challenges as long as we all work together and strive to make a difference."
