Two things stood out to me in your rejection stories:
1. You are a tenacious so-and-so. I'm treading those rejection-filled waters in my web developer career, and I've decided I wanna be like you when I grow up.
2. We never know what battles someone is fighting outside of our interactions with them, so we need to be kind rather than writing them off.
Wanda, you inspire ME! I want to commit myself to lifelong learning, and your tenacity gives me so much energy!! Rejection is just part of the journey!!
Drew, I can't believe anyone would ever question your commitment to your craft. I have always been so impressed by your work ethic and drive. I'm so glad you never quit - you are truly a light in the world! - your stand partner from way back when
Hey Drew, im also a violist who’s been playing for six years and im so inspired by your story! you’re such an amazing violist and i feel empowered by your effort and hard work through the hard rejections you faced. i’ve seen your youtube vlogs and amazing viola concertos and i was so inspired by your playing. i love the music you make now and don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you succeed in
Johan, thank you for saying this! I’m so honored to hear this! I’ll do my best to continue to make you proud! We’re so fortunate that this journey is long and full of opportunity! I can’t wait to hear how you continue to develop! Keep hustlin!
100% relatable. I might have advanced in a few symphony auditions and play with an orchestra part-time now, but I got rejected from the cruise contract with Lincoln Center Stage, so 🤷♀️ haha

Lizzy!!! I’m so humbled to hear you say that! We went through so much in orchestra class—you were always my ride or die! I hope you’re well! 🧡
