After weighing her options with the support of her family, she made a decision about her brother-in-brother

Faith from the path she had always seen for herself was a terrible decision, but in the nursing school behind her, it was an opportunity to focus on what she wanted to do

Most of the first jobs are really bad

"I couldn't get through that door initially," Hello! I have just finished my work and I want my dream to work on your world-renowned and respected brand. " The coordination of the events was not where I wanted to spend my career. In fact, I was opposed to those girls who dreamed of their wedding days, and suddenly I run 75 weddings and 280 events a year. "

" But managing this place is my opportunity to showcase myself and my work. I made sure that people knew where I wanted to end up, and I shook when I had a chance. I was the best coordinator of the events I could be. "

"Believe in yourself, in addition to reason."

" Not stuck in A-BC mentality. Your path will be crooked, "said Stott." And to be open to all the options. Everything will be the same as you never dreamed that would surprise you. I mean, hello, beer? "

While she was joking that she could do without paying for the debts of OSAP, even this businesslike obstacle led to something great

" There will always be attacks and those who think you're crazy and never make it happen. But I don't let them sit in the front row. "
