March 2025: Service-Learning Student Serves as Host for a Spring 2025 Bat Chat on the topic of “Ambition Without Exhaustion: Balance vs. Rhythm”!  Zoila Watson, a student in Prof. Becky Villarreal’s service-learning Composition class.

Description from ACC Office of Student Life website:  “High-achieving students often struggle with burnout and perfectionism, constantly chasing success while trying to maintain balance. But what if balance isn’t the answer? Zoila challenged the balance myth and introduced a rhythm-based approach to sustaining ambition without exhaustion. Participants learned how to break free from toxic hustle culture, manage perfectionism, and develop sustainable habits that support achievement and well-being so you can keep striving without sacrificing yourself.”
