Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Family:

    College was only for people with money. I really didn't believe that I could attend college, especially a four-year college.

  • How I responded:

    I reached out for help, and I took a leap of faith. I didn't let other people's perceived limits become my own.

Experiences and challenges that shaped me

  • I didn't have a very straight forward path into or through college. A friend's mother encouraged me to walk into my local Cal State and apply. It changed my life. There were still many mistakes that I made on the way, but I never gave up.
