Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
You are not a good fit for our culture or we are looking for people with more experience.
How I responded:
Stay Focused!! You can do anything you put your mind to. I have had many people say that I can do this or I can't do that. If you work hard and stay focused you will get to where you want to go....And there is nothing better than to look those same people in the face and let them know you accomplished what they said you never could!!! Priceless!!
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
With the recent economic issues our country has been going through I have been forced to take a position in which I am over qualified. I try not to let that bother me. I simply work hard and believe that all my hard work will pay off in the future..
