Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Parents:

    You can not do College, you are not smart enough, so why go?

  • How I responded:

    You are your own person, no one has the power to tell you anything negative. They don't know how intelligent you really are, they can only guess, which makes them ignorant! Perhaps they need to go to college.
