The 2024 BE Project – In a world where you can BE anything, what will you choose?
Be receptive to change. I want to be receptive of others opinions and my own. I am working on not letting it take everything from me. Be more receptive to change.
Meet Candace and Her Personal Reflections
I really struggle with people’s opinions and how that determines how I react. I’m very outspoken at work. It has gotten me in trouble.That’s part of what led to some of the struggles I’ve had. But I’ve learned who to be outspoken with and who to just nod and say okay. I’ve learned who I can be honest with and who I can’t.
If you could go back and talk to yourself two years ago, what would you say?
I would tell her it’s okay to not always try to wear the strong on the outside. It’s okay to express your feelings, you don’t have to keep it all to yourself. That Candace wanted everyone’s opinion to be great – but I would tell her that some people’s opinions don’t matter.
What is something you want to accomplish this year?
I have to get back into school and get my masters. My goal is more of an emotional/mental goal. Its to just be more kind to myself and not let others dictate what I do.
