“The BXAI Summer Program served as a valuable platform for scholars to form deep bonds, be inspired by one another, and establish lifelong friendships with those from different backgrounds.  The team building session in particular, where more experienced participants shared their insights while younger ones posed questions, offered us a precious opportunity to exchange ideas and perspectives.  As one of the younger scholars, I was greatly inspired by the stories and future goals of my more mature counterparts, and was encouraged to strive harder in my own path while considering how I might also inspire others in the future.  As I shared my goals and aspirations with my peers, I felt heard and supported, which strengthened my determination to pursue my dreams with confidence.”
