“All I’m saying is with this Fields Fellowship, don’t reject it automatically because it doesn’t look appealing. Ask yourself: What do you want for your life? Can this help? Forget about your ego. Forget about Daddy, forget about your advisor. Really investigate if this fellowship can give you what you want. Especially if you’re thinking about going to grad school at any point. I can tell you right now, it’s easier to go to school than go back to school.”
