14.01.2022 After noticing that many of the people around her, including herself, were struggling to maintain motivation as this year progressed, first-year Sancta resident, Sneha Srikanth, set out on a project to change that. What does success mean to you? That is the question that Sneha asked the inspiring and powerful women in her life, including her friends at Sancta, university, and her mentors.... The outcome is a video that re-motivates and encourages individuals to keep doing what they love, to not give up on their goals, and to stay true to themselves throughout the journey.
