Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
How did you get to graduate from UC Irvine?
How I responded:
I did not get into college because I am black-no affirmative action! I was in the top 10 % of my class- you can do anything you determine you want to do! Ignore the biases! Race does not matter! It’s you who matters! Your hard work! Your desire to succeed- is what counts the most not what people think about whether you deserve to be someplace or not!
