Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Friends:
You will not be able to support yourself and your family by working for a not-for-profit.
How I responded:
I have encountered several cross-roads in my professional career in which I have had opportunities to take a path that was more financially rewarding but did not meet my passion in life to help others. I eventually realized that life is too short and using my skills and knowledge to help others is my true reward. Staying committed to who I am eventually presented professional opportunities that I never thought I could obtain. You can have your cake and eat it too!
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I was not prepared for college life. I made many mistakes. My family could not advise me from personal experiences. However, they always were there to help me get back on my feet and would not let me quit. I persevered to not let them down.
