" A popular quote reads "There is no knowledge without learning. There is no wisdom without experience." Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will give me the opportunity to learn, know and apply wisdom collaboratively. The knowledge and skills I gain from Millennium Fellowship will make my social impact on schools and health communities more tangible and aligned with the UNAI principles and SDG's. I am excited to increase my anticipatory competence by envisioning new ways of learning. "
