Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
It's too expensive, do you really like to do that? Does it pay well?
How I responded:
When you like something, and you know it, even if you may not know it well or what you're doing, just keep at it.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
My family was very poor. I worked a lot and did odd jobs to make money. Also, doing my research about loans/scholarships, etc.
A lot of my family believed in just going straight to work after school or doing trade work. School isn't for everyone but if you go do a good job and focus, you only get out what you put in.
