Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Parents:

    You will have to live your live under the stress of constant deadlines.

  • How I responded:

    Some of the negative things people say about professions that they are not a part of may not be true. If it is true it might not be as bad as they say. Do your research and ask people who are in the profession you are considering about the concerns you may have.
