Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Family:
I shouldn't be a math teacher because I could make a lot more money with my math degree.
How I responded:
Make sure that the career you choose is something you love. I tell people that I know I could make more money in the math field but I'd rather make less money doing a job I love. No one has been able to dispute this statement.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I researched different scholarships and loan forgiveness programs to make college affordable for me.
