Transcript: Success is very interesting term because people think about success in lots of different ways. Let me tell you how I think about it and why. I also think about another word called significance. For me to be successful, it's about you and your personal achievement, getting things done, achieving certain things that you want to in your life, but significance is what you do for others. And so I would say that not only have I tried to be successful, but I've also tried to be significant in the lives of others. You grow up, you do well in school, you find those things that are really interesting to you and that you're really good at, and people start to pay you for those kinds of things. That would be sort of the great story of anybody's life. If they can do what they love and do what they're good at and people pay them for it. But I think there's another part, which is when you're significant, that means that there are some other people who would say, not only did they do well for themselves, but they did well for other people too. They helped other people, they supported their communities. When they're gone, people will miss them because they did some great things.

Kim Singleton, +Club instructor and author, facilitates a student discussion on managing differences and fostering a sense of belonging. In this unfiltered and real-time session, prompted by Eric Pennington's introspection on his high school years and personal choices, the dialogue dives into the nuances of acceptance and the quest for belonging in diverse environments. Through candid reflections and shared experiences, the conversation explores the profound impact of individual decisions on our sense of inclusion and offers insights into navigating differences to cultivate a deeper sense of belonging.
