Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
You make poor choices and keep making mistakes (my father).
How I responded:
I had to realize I needed these lessons to learn from and gain wisdom, in order to be a better person.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
My father gambled & we experienced a foreclosure & midnight-moves. I have 3 brothers & at times, we had only rice or cereal to eat. Our mother kept us stable & taught us to protect & confide in each other. Strong sibling bonds gave us confidence.
