Meet Emma, a passionate second-year double degree student in Mathematics and Health from the University of Waterloo. She grew up in a small town where academic achievement was celebrated, but the pressure to excel became overwhelming when she transitioned to university life. Emma is vocal about mental health and advocates for student well-being, understanding firsthand the toll that high academic demands can take. She often organizes study groups, trying to foster a supportive environment among her peers, while also navigating the challenges of a rigorous dual program. Emma's dedication is mixed with frustration, as she grapples with the institution's prioritization of prestige over student health, especially in memory of a close friend named David, who struggled with similar pressures.
