Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Teachers:
I studied abroad in West Africa as an undergraduate. Everyone, including my study abroad advisor, parents, and professors thought this was a bad idea.
How I responded:
I simply did not listen.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
This is an ongoing work in progress. I continued to pursue the work and sought non-campus based employment, in part for my desire not to continue to fight the discriminatory tendencies in higher education.
