A speaker reflects on an event that drew far fewer people than expected, with only a handful showing up in person and online. Rather than give up, they stayed present and delivered value to the students who came, choosing resilience over self-pity.
I don't know that I have a way around this right now, but I know for sure that I'm here. I haven't given up. I'm sitting in the room, not allowing myself to wallow in self-pity, in the room that should have had 12 people in it and like 24 online, or 12 and 18 online. It's humbling to sit here on a table where there should have been others and there's no one. It's weird to say that and be like, I could have done that from home, but I'm proud that we booked the space, we took the step out of faith, we still got the students, and it was still a success. The only one that saw it as a failure and feels it's a failure is me.
