Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
I don't belong here. I don't feel like myself.
How I responded:
College was difficult because of issues with financial aid, which made me stop. I also had feelings of imposter syndrome when working. I ended up going back to college and finishing my degree. I also decided to talk to others in my position, individuals who understood how I felt.
