Abstract
Thinking that math is a skill that you are either born with or not is wrong. Yasaman Taheri learned this while in middle school and afterward became an expert in math. She talks about the role of a mentor and how changes to your mindset can help you to achieve your goals. She also talks about being introverted while on her leadership journey and how she now manages to switch between introversion and extroversion due to her focusing on self-improvement. Yasaman has her bachelor’s in aerospace engineering, but she shares how challenging it was for her to move to the US with her limited knowledge of English and study for this course. She advises that people get involved in community and extracurricular activities to help teach yourself soft skills which will be useful in life. She also shares how she shifted from aerospace to the renewable energy industry as her immigration status did not assist in her securing jobs in that sector. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Sanya Mathura; individual chapters, the contributors.
