Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Society in general:

    "Oh you won't make any money working for the government!" "Why work for the government? It's all corrupt and politics!"

  • How I responded:

    It's not about money, but serving people and helping them! Constituent service knows no corruption or political party!
