Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Family:

    Don't bother going to school just go to work. My family owned delis and that's what they wanted me to do.

  • How I responded:

    Do whats in your heart. At the end, you'll be more successful doing what you like to do rather than doing what others want you to do.
