Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Parents:

    I was crazy for wanting to leave my job and my comforts of home to do a mission trip in Africa. Some didn't believe I had the guts and strength to do what I did.

  • How I responded:

    Take that risk, no matter what anyone else thinks. You'll become so much better for it, and you'll have amazing stories to tell as a result. You only grow and become a better version of yourself when you challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone.
