I had just left the admissions office from my school. I had been dropped from all my classes and I was trying to get re-enrolled. When I got back to my car I had a $75 parking ticket and at that point I said ‘screw it’ I am a college drop out.

I ended up taking a data entry position for the company that my mother worked for and did that for 40 hours a week.

If I had let that moment define me and determine my future, I would not be where I am today.

We all make mistakes, but we have to take risks. Don’t be afraid to try something new, if it doesn’t work out that is ok.

Do not let your past failures define who you are or who you can become.
