Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Family:
That I was spending too much money when I could easily find a job that would pay what a teacher makes without an education.
How I responded:
Where there may some truth to what they were saying, there is nothing that compares to going to work with a smile on your face. I did not choose education for monetary satisfaction. I chose it because it was a calling. I do not regret my path in any way. Life is too short to let others decide what will make you happy.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
Believe in yourself and your abilities. Make small, short-term attainable goals that help get you to your ultimate end goal!
