While I enjoyed the entrepreneurship side of sales, I chose to fulfill my passion and teach.
4.
I went back to school to work on earning my teaching certificate & Masters in Education.
5.
Rough times came in 2009 & I couldn't find a teaching job. I went to a tech recruiting firm.

Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You should continue to look for a teaching job, even though there aren't any coming around the corner.
How I responded:
Don't be complacent and wait for things to come your way. Be proactive and don't let others stand in your way. Make things happen. I don't believe good things come to those who wait. I think good things come to those who take action.
