Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
Vas a terminar como tus hermanas" and "Why waste your time, just stay home.
How I responded:
I overcame the noise by ignoring every person who put me down . I told myself, "You're perfect just the way you are and just the way you are not."
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
There was only one way of overcoming financial issues and it was by working for less of an issue.
The gangs were around me, in my neighborhood. When I moved away from the neighborhood, the gangs overcame me .
To this day I have not overcome this issue , but I found a way of just getting by it. If your plan is discouraged by others, follow your instincts. The heart will always listen to the ones you love.
