Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You have street smarts but would benefit from a formal degree.
How I responded:
There is only one way to deal with discouragement; Outwork them. Be the hardest worker in every room and once you've mastered that room, move to another. Growth begins at the edge of comfort.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
You will often find yourself as one of a few or the only one from your ethnicity. Learn to be comfortable with that feeling and remember that you are representative of your family and your culture. Always outwork them!
