[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 150559, member: 30937"] Hey [USER=30709]@Shreya Verma[/USER], thank you for the nice comment, but I totally understand how imposter syndrome can be detrimental to your progress. I myself was so anxious when I was applying to law firms cause I was so adamant that none of them would have offered me a place since I was an international student. However, as you can see, this was not my experience in the slightest. I think it is important to focus on three things: [LIST] [*]remember your why: always remember why you are doing what you are doing. Why are you applying to become a solicitor? This is fundamental because regardless of the impostor syndrome that is influencing your life, you've got to keep going having in mind the bigger purpose that is driven you. [*]be intentional with every step you take to achieve your goal. When it comes to me and my impostor syndrome, I always felt like if I was doing everything I could, there was nothing I should be ashamed of or be sad about, because I have done everything in my power. So being intentional with every step you take is essential and it will allow you to be proud of everything you are doing even though you are immensely scared of it. [*]what I found very helpful when I was applying was talking to people that were future trainees at the firms I was interested in and listen to how they managed to achieve their goals and their entire journey. This will help you contextualise that even people in the position you aspire to be in have struggled with imposter syndrome but successfully overcame it and reached their goals.
