Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Friends:

    You won't make enough money in education. Education is a career field for women.

  • How I responded:

    Follow your own definition of success. Don't let others define it for you. Find your true North (what drives you) and work towards that everyday. You will find much more contentment in your career and in your life if you follow "purpose" over "position".
