Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
"You can't draw" "The education you have is not good" "You won't go anywhere"
How I responded:
Don't listen to them. When they say "You can't do it" tell them, "watch me."
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
My family couldn't afford for me to go to university I really wanted to go, so I had to go to community college, which was really fine for me. And even though people look down on community college, it still mad me stronger.
