Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
While I was in grad school, someone asked me what I was doing. After I explained, they said, "You have to get a degree to do that?", it was the tone vs the words.
How I responded:
I saw the value in what I was studying and because I had an opportunity to work hands-on, I knew it would be worth it in the end. Working with college students and helping them find their path was something I was good at and enjoyed doing. Know the value of what you do and don't pay attention to the negative noise.
