Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Family:
You have three kids, you should work a more stable job, in a stable industry.
How I responded:
When I stop looking for the validation from family, and realized that what I was put on this earth for had nothing to do with what they wanted, I became better off. I realized that I am different and I can't make everyone happy, you lose peace that way. I refuse to lose my peace for anyone.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
My mom struggled being a single mother of six, I even struggle being a single mother of three. I remained positive, looked at my bigger picture and understood it takes struggle to be polished and refined.
I was the first in my family to go to college. Which was hard to believe because I had my son going into my 12th grade year of high school. I worked very hard to ensure I went to the college of my choice.
