How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
What you want to do is just a hobby. You're only okay at it and you need to have a Plan B just in case, like go to to college and get a general degree since you didn’t take the normal route of going to college.
How I responded:
I’ve dealt with the discouragement by just keeping my head up and moving forward. I was told many things but I did not let the negativity bring me down since I knew that I loved what I was doing. I was going to work harder to reach my goals and get closer to where I wanted to be. Ever since I went on my own, I've always managed to keep a smile on my face, even though the day has been rough because I know that every day I wake up knowing that I’m doing something that I love and that I enjoy.
