Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
Go to college or you won't have a good life.
How I responded:
I did end up going to college but I realized that everyone has different paths and no matter what you do, as long as you're happy and passionate about your path and what you're doing that is what matters. :)
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I was involved in a very physically and emotionally abusive relationship for almost two years. The key to overcoming this was my amazing support system of family and friends who were by my side the entire time and helped me regain my life.
