Re: Did someone ever tell you that you would never be able to achieve something and you DID!

Oh yeah! A few times!!

1st time:
In HS when my 12th grade social studies teacher basically mocked me & several other students in class. There were a few of us who were going to BOCES for Hairdressing.

The discussion had something to do with what we might do in the future. He pointed......yes ACTUALLY pointed at us...........and said "See these girls here.....they go to BOCES and will never do anything but wash hair for a living!"




to him now!!!



2nd time:
In college.......during Mortuary Science we take a Funeral Management Class and work one day a week at a funeral home. One of the directors asked me WHY I wanted to be a funeral director.

So I gave my answer which probably consisted of my being a people person and also liking to be able to make people look better for their families.

He LAUGHED and said "Well you should have a back up plan because you'll never make it in this field!!!"

Pffffffttttttt to him!! Because 9 years later......I suspect that I make at least as much as him if not more money and he has been doing this for over 20 years

Re: Did someone ever tell you that you would never be able to achieve something and you DID!

Yes, when I went back to school after 30 to do a totally different career.

In my HS/college years, a teacher told me I would go nowhere. I probably make double of what she makes.
