HURDLES I OVERCAME
THE “NOISE” FROM MY TEACHERS
“You are too short to be a airline stewardess." "You are not good enough with math and science to be a nurse.”
HOW I OVERCAME THE “NOISE”
Find what you are good at and what you like; they are usually related. Search for careers that employ what you like and/or what you are good at and reach for higher education. Go as far as you need/want to go with your education and search for jobs. Set your own internship up if your high school or college will not set one up for you.
