Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
You need to become a lawyer or a doctor because you are a gifted student and you need to take advantage of that.
How I responded:
I didn't overcome the noise until later. But in retrospect you need to pursue your passion not money.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
My parents refused to help me with any finances in college because they felt that I would not appreciate it unless I did it myself. I think this short-sighted thinking existed because they did not go to college themselves.
