Today’s storyteller has a story that’s just as inspiring as her dog’s is. Five years into her PHD program at Harvard, she made the courageous decision to leave school and pursue her dreams of becoming an artist.
It wasn’t easy, and it was during the beginning stages of this transition that she became depressed. She was still in school, miserable, and longing to pursue a different path. Her boyfriend at the time, wanted to cheer her up, and he knew, like most of us do, that there’s no better therapist than a dog.
I’m thrilled to introduce Nina Huang with the story of how she met Apollo… listen in to hear it above!
