Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
I was very supported by my parents in doing what I wanted and did not face much discouragement. One instance is that I didn't want to go to college and my parents made me go, but I am very grateful for that opportunity as I learned a lot.
How I responded:
While I did not need to deal with any type of discouragement, I would encourage people to follow their heart and believe in themselves. If you are not doing something that you just love, find a job that you want and make it happen. It is best to not leave a job until you have another one if at all possible. It is much easier to find a job when you already have one.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I needed to have enough confidence in myself to know what I needed, and have the ability to ask for it as well. A different kind of hurdle, but especially important for females in the workforce.
