Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Parents:

    You should be doing more with your life than just helping high school kids.

  • How I responded:

    At the end of the day, you have to live out the life that you want to. Figure out what's important to you and go after it. If you try to "have it all" from the beginning, you'll end up running in circles.
