Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
You should get married and raise a family. You should be a teacher or a secretary. Don't take risks.
How I responded:
I followed my own heart and chose what I wanted to major in during college, rather than letting my parents choose for me. It took courage and a bit of defiance. I had to pay for college on my own and work two jobs during it.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I became a single mother and had expenses that were more than income. I worked to reduce my debt and save so that I could afford to invest in my own business.
The business I chose to start is completely unrelated to my education and background. I had to do a lot of research and studying on my own to learn a completely different industry.
