I was recently inducted as a Fellow in the American College of Dentists. At the annual ceremony, held in Houston, standing next to people who have 15, 20 or 30 years of work experience after dental school, I felt a little out of place. After all, at the time, I was only 4 years into… Continue reading Why I went back for a GPR

Why we give up

February 21, 2022February 21, 2022 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

About 6 months ago, I started figure skating again. This was after a gap of nearly 15 years.

I was quiet, often taking criticism personally, and afraid of sharing my gifts with others. I was reluctant at the thought of expanding my comfort zone. What does advocacy mean… Continue reading Self-advocacy
