Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Teachers:
You should get a Ph.D. in History.
How I responded:
When one of my professors encouraged me to pursue a Ph.D. in his field, I started to worry that he would be disappointed if I chose another path. Eventually, I realized that I could take his encouragement as a compliment without following his advice. Just because he saw a bit of himself in me didn't mean I needed to take the same road he did.
