Parents and Friends Just Don’t Understand In this talk, I share my own rocky path to personal and professional growth. Spending many unhappy years trying to live the life that others outlined for me, I battled mentalillness, teen bullying, and failing grades because I ignored my own desires. However, after learning how to tune out the noise of others, I finally unlocked my potential andlearned how to strategically work towards my goals. Sharing the valuable lessons I’ve learned along the way, this talk offers both young women and educators the principlesI used to follow my passion and succeed.
