Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Teachers:
I was originally told that I wouldn’t be able to get accepted into GSU and that I shouldn’t consider going there.
How I responded:
If I would have listened to my guidance counselor’s advice, I would have never gotten into the school of my dreams. My advice to you is take a chance on yourself even when others doubt you. The end results could work in your favor even if the odds are against you.
