Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
That if I go into journalism and photography I will make no money and stay broke. It is too easy of a career.
How I responded:
If you have a great passion for what you do, then your eyes should be set onto that passion. Once you have your mind made up on that, then there is no stopping you. Do what you love and what is going to make want to wake up every day because you are the only person that has to live with yourself. Not your family, friends, teachers, and etc.
