Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You went to school for Marine Biology. You probably aren't cut out to work in the IT industry.
How I responded:
Don't listen to those people who criticize your work. Stay confident and focused and you can do whatever you want in life!
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I had severe asthma since I was 10 years old. I suffered all through high school but never stopped being active. I missed a lot of high school and college because of my illness, but I studied hard and overcame!
