Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
You should study something more useful. You'll never find a job.
How I responded:
I studied what I loved and I would never change that. While I may not be using my major in my day to day work life, I had a lot of fun studying and learned a lot. My majors were very demanding and helped me to be more organized, disciplined, and focused. You'll end up where you are supposed to be no matter what you study, so do what you are passionate about.
