“I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Some of them have continued the architecture dream, some have left. But before we begin - we’d like to share some of the expectations and reality we’ve had of our own dreams and careers - and the hurdles we’ve overcome.
