Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
You need to choose a long-term path, with prospects and in a scientific field.
How I responded:
I love science but not the academic system. I made contacts whilst travelling and utilised one. Don't be afraid to let loose, discover yourself and be free.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
Always, money is an issue. If you have a hobby, turn it into something you can profit from. For example, I love drawing and painting and have been lucky enough to sell some of my artwork.
