Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Friends:

    You won't like living in a big city if you grew up in Florida.

  • How I responded:

    I overcame the "Noise" by realizing that you shouldn't be afraid to try new things or explore new places. It is normal to fear the unknown, but some of the best experiences in life happen when you try something new. I was uncertain about moving to New York City without knowing anyone, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made! It is great to experience and see how people live in different parts of the country and world.
