Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
I've had jobs I didn't like. Even in my current role, I received a lot of constructive criticism, which can be hard to hear sometimes. I've also dealt with injuries that impacted my work and my mental health.
How I responded:
Know that people will look down on you. What is important is to continue living and working hard for yourself. Failing is okay, it's part of life. Do not give up. Keep applying to jobs that resonates with you even if you keep getting rejected by people. Continue networking. Whenever there are opportunities given, take the chance.. It can turn to be worth it in the end.
