Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
You should go to College and then get a job...
How I responded:
In my mind I went to college when I liked and did not have a clue about GE requirements or any requirements to graduate. Whatever your dream is, do research about it. Have a goal. Obtain a Mentor. Try it and if you're not happy or you do not like your choice do something else. Do not stay in a career that you are not happy going to work everyday.
