Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Friends:

    You don't have a real skill.

  • How I responded:

    A "real skill" is subjective. While the focus seems to be on STEM currently, it isn't everyone's forte or enjoyment. Consider your strengths and play up to them. It's horrible to go to work everyday to a job that pays well but drains you.
