Eli is a third-year Math student at the University of Waterloo who has navigated a tumultuous academic journey. Initially, they faced a series of setbacks, accumulating multiple failures in their first term, which led to a required withdrawal from the program. However, rather than letting these obstacles define them, Eli persevered and eventually earned their BMath degree. With a background in mentoring, they now actively support fellow students, sharing their story to inspire resilience and reminding others that failures are merely stepping stones on the path to success. Passionate about fostering a positive academic environment, Eli believes that happiness and learning should go hand in hand.
