Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Teachers:

    I heard early on in my undergraduate education that I did not have the work ethic necessary to complete a doctoral program.

  • How I responded:

    If you are committed to the task of life long learning it really doesn't matter what your early background is because adult learners can learn anything that they focus on with their energy and time. A firm commitment to accomplishing worthy goals can overcome almost any deficiency.
