Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
You don't win anything by volunteering. You need to work in a big corporation to be successful.
How I responded:
I think that you can stay quiet and hear what everybody tells you about what to do with your life or you can take time to look to the world and into yourself; then you will be able to do what you love and make an impact. It's up to you!
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I received a low income for my work and I don't receive financial help from anybody, imagine that! I believe that better payment is to be able to do what you love.
