Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
You won't have a personal life for a while.
How I responded:
What I heard was bogus! You will have time to enjoy your life. I am able to take off when I need to and at KPMG they want you to have time to yourself.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I worked up to 5 jobs in one year so that I could keep my head above water. We all have our share of hurdles but how we choose to get over that hurdle is up to us. I chose to pursue my dream despite the appearance of my bank account.
