Tips from olivia paige dotson-
It doesn’t matter how old you are, a good mentor can mean the difference between succeeding and thriving. The direct opportunities they can provide could open doors you wouldn’t even think possible. Find a mentor you connect with and listen to them, because they can help you reframe your mindset as your goals evolve.

You'll 100% never get the thing you didn't apply for. Start with STEM and STEAM camps. Didn’t get in the first year? Apply again. And again. Learning to apply and accept rejection, but not internalize it, is part of the process.

Self rejection is a thing, especially for Black women. I think some people decide they’re not qualified if they don’t tick every box. If you’re missing one thing (or several) on the application, you should still apply. You never know. You may have skills they didn’t even realize they needed.
