✍nothing good comes easy✍

What is your main channel

since entering high school (i'm a junior now), i've valued gaining acceptance to a name school above everything, even my own health, and this video literally woke me up. thank you so much for your honesty in applying to schools and in your youtube journey. I tend to focus so much on the name schools on guaranteeing myself a successful, happy life bc like why are they name schools if they're not good? but you've definitely helped me see that it's my own self that builds the life that I want. I love your signature style in your content and the person you are where you focus on mindset and strength of character, that's something i've never encountered before on this platform so all your advice means sm to me!

Love the video! I’m not sure if you’ll see this question but I wanted to ask something that other people might have in mind when starting a business. So when you’re starting something, and you ask your best friends to like follow your page for example and they don’t. How should you feel about it? Like should you feel sad/petty or this is something you shouldn’t really care about?

bro whats behind you in korean? im korean i thought you are chinese american

Me starting to be dedicated to my content but most importantly to me and my love for being able to do something creative after watching this video 🤍

I can agree with the general sentinment of working hard to acheive your goals but the guilt-tripping is something I can't get behind. Just like her grandfather was unlucky enough to be born in poverty most of us who were born into "privelege" didn't choose this either. I would argue that demonizing our current environment that allows us to opportunity to live above a subsistence level is just as disrespectful as squandering opportunities that your parents gave you. We have all the things that we have because the generations before us didn't want their descendants to continue living in poverty having to work difficult manual labor jobs just to scrape by. It could be argued that we should honor their sacrifices by enjoying are current privleges. And just because your grandparents had to go through a lot for you to be where you are today doesn't mean you are obligated to go to school or study or being "highly successful". First of all, what is it that is considered highly successful? Making a lot of money? Having a lot of kids? Being high-status? It's great that his sacrifices put you in a positon where you have those options but that is all they are, options. He chose to have kids who in turn chose to have kids. And I'm sure no one put a gun to their heads and forced them to do that. So for them to force another being into existence who didn't ask for it and expecting that being to "repay" them as if they were just some little investment that didn't have thoughts and desires of their own is just as selfish as "squandering" their sacrifices. I'm sorry your grandfather made all those sacrifices to get to a better spot in life but just like you mentioned about tough love, that's, well, tough. You are no one's property just because they did a bunch of things that you did not ask them to do. A parent's responsibility is to give their child what they need to have a decent or better life. A child's responsibility is to recognize what their parents did, maybe say thank you every now and again and not spit in their parents' face but that's it. You are your own person and you are not obligated to do things to please them. Period.

Thank you for sharing, this info is so on point. I love it and love how you can apply to this other aspects of your life. 🩷 Great stuff

ok but why can’t i find a link to her second channel?

Thank you very much for sharing your experience..🥰

Good information. I will give it four stars. The structure could be a little better.

I love listening to your podcasts when i'm cleaning, setting up my study space, walking to the library etc. It really motivates me! The line in this video about being curious ab your upper limit hit so hard.

This is the absolute best advice that I’ve gotten today in YT. Thank you so much miss!

Yes yes yes

This is the 2nd video I saw with great advice. The “big guys” are full of crap.

But she doesn't have 480k followers check the numbers

Harvard likes to brag about people who are likely to be a great entrepreneur or a ceo of any Fortune 500 I don’t think you are still there

Doing "what is asked of you to do in certain time period of life " gives a certain security but it also comes with a very negative side and is one of the main reason why so many people feel ashamed of their uniqe path or unable to connect with other people because they did not meet the specific expectation of society where you "should be" at a certain age and are constantly looked down at by people who think that following these sociatal norms is the only way to exist.

20:10 exactly the same situation and i got lipo and "shaved" my anterior digastric muscle. I was bullied in high school for havind a double chin.

03:09 i can understand what you are saying. But if you find out random from someone or somewhere about a celebrity's personal life can be an example of what you shouldn't do or should to and reinforce the idea that no one is perfect and we all should be a better person. But on the other hand we shouldn't deliberately use our precious time "researching" celebrities lives. We should maximize ours.

This video made me feel calm while studying, people say you shouldn’t watch videos or listen to music when you study. But only when listening to your video was when I was able to study peacefully without getting the need to scroll on my phone! I’m really rooting for you, you’re my role model not only in your achievements but also your mindset. Your previous videos about getting motivated to study really made me see the bigger picture. I am so grateful to get the opportunity to even be going to school, not to mention in America, as a first generation immigrant.

Muito bom para aprender o inglês conversação bem feita com um sotaque muito bom maravilhoso. Peguei várias frases pra usar no dia a dia, expressões e muito mais

Trust me, 10 years later nobody will care where you went to school. Most successful business people are not Harvard MBAs. Forge your own path, screw Harvard, they are not good enough for you!

Content Creators are not easy. it gives pressure and determination to create something unique in the market.

I have to ask, what do you do all of this for? Like, why do you work so hard to get into prestigious schools? What’s the point? Why do you place so much value on going to such a school?

I wish I saw this earlier..

So surprised you didn’t make it despite what kind of person you are and the content you create. We really appreciate you showing us what you didn’t achieve, because it reminds us of the reality we live in. It’s their loss honestly!

You probably won't see this comment but I want to put it out there anyways.. my family has a very similar story, we struggled alot during the British rule in India and my grandfather built our family from scratch and my father carried his legacy through hard work giving me a very wonderful life today. I don't thank them enough but I am forever grateful. I'm privileged to be sitting here in my comfortable home and listening to this video, and this has made me reflect on my life and I rly wanna work hard to continue what my grandfather started and make him proud. He isnt with us anymore but I believe he's always watching me and I cannot let him down.. thank you for this video, I've gotten a chance to reflect and work harder from now on

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but you may have been rejected from Harvard because you’re like most applicants who apply/don’t have anything to really distinguish yourself

thank you amy , i will make sure to do right.

girl i wish i could say one of my problems was getting rejected from Harvard lol that would be a great life

I would like to have a video on high school like i worry sm about people like i want to start doing swimming at school but i overthink about what the boys might think or i am not good enough when i see the top achiever gettiing good marks and i low marks even i was trying not to copy idk but people say i overthink too much idk help preacher Amy😢

Believe me hon, we are listening. My family's followed a similar trajectory to yours (fellow South Asian here!), and I am here to tell you that it is those very same spoiled brats who've convinced us that we sound like old geezers and boomers. This is not boomer behaviour, this is truth and perspective that humanity needs no matter how 'advanced' we get. Perspective is imperative, so try your best to de-condition yourself from the thought that you sound old - the people that labelled this such are the ones that don't want to listen to it because they're happier in their echo chamber. Like you and I have literally been shamed by people who throw tantrums over having to write a 1500 word essay - we're really going to let ourselves be shamed by those airheads? I don't think so.

Thanks for the advice. :) I just started my content creator journey myself!

very inspiring

Doesn't matter most of us will compete for barista position anyways

Thank you so much for not using bgm in your videos. Your voice is so soothing. I actually complete a lot of tasks just by listening to your podcasts. I feel productive too.

Hi Amy, First of all, thank you for being vulnerable. You work so hard creating high quality videos- I can imagine the tremendous amount of effort you have put into all your applications. Like the rest of your A Team, we’re so proud of your growth and resilient mindset. You lead by example and it’s amazing to watch you stick to your values. I hope you have an incredible time at MIT. TBH, my brother (who has been my study role model since Day 1/ whom I consider the smarter of us two siblings) has always raved about Caltech and MIT. He says people sleep on those schools because they’re not as popular as IVY Leagues. So much love from 2 Canadians- we’re rooting for you 🫶🏼

great video

I'm so sorry; I've watched you for years and I think that if you apply a fourth time you will defiantly get in but if you don't want that then just apply to another ivy league

Also, surprised a leftist school like that wouldn’t just accept you just for being Asian loll not even kidding wow one of the most liberal schools didn’t do that is actually more shocking.

You don’t need school I can guarantee you there are people doing that same thing that you’re wanting to do but instead, you are wasting time in school while they’re already making the money and doing it universities a scam even Harvard just go watch street interviews with people from Harvard. You’ll see quickly. It really means nothing these days maybe 20 years ago but it’s not that impressive. You are fine promise loll 😂

U dum asrain. No accrept harbird. Dum asrain😔

My master's program felt unchallenging and, in a way, it left me feeling like I wasted valuable time. However, what I’ve realized is that the experience taught me much more than just technical skills. I learned a lot from my fellow students-how they present themselves, how they dive deep into unfamiliar subjects, and how they approach learning. I gained new perspectives and, more importantly, a better understanding of my own weaknesses. Now, I’m considering pursuing a more rigorous master's, but my ultimate goal is to find a job that I’m passionate about and where I can invest my efforts meaningfully. For me, earning a degree just for the name on a CV, without a clear purpose, doesn’t hold much appeal.

I just posted my first video! It is super scary out there, but I'm prepared! Thank you so much for being honest! ❤️

It's okay Amy we are so proud of you. Cause u didn't give up after the first rejection. And u tired again that's the best part. It taught you valuable lessons which people who got succeeded won't get it. So don't worry much Amy. Ur gonna achieve something bigger in life. That's a sign from the universe that something much more better is waiting for you to grab the opportunity. Even in my life I went through tonnes of failures in exams. Still sailing in the boat hoping to get to the destination. Your videos motivate me and gives me strength to push through my challenges. You're my role model Amy. Definitely you will achieve something much bigger in life. Love you Amy ❤❤❤😊😊

You got rejected for being ASIAN
