Nance Lucas & Robin Gerber (Katie L.N.)

I really enjoyed listening to these two women speak. I thought the way they started, talking about their experiences, helped them to make more of an impact (on me anyways).
One thing that I loved was that Robin was open with the fact that she dropped out of college. So many people brush that fact aside when it is part of their story. It is just "go to college," without any room for discussion. But, she is right, college is not for everyone! And that does not mean that you are not smart.
My favorite part regarding what Nance said was her insistence on being happy, making sure that you love what you do so it will make you happy & maintaining a balanced life. As I said in my presentation, & I am sure many other times, that is my biggest struggle. While I know the importance of it - sometimes the execution is not quite there. My problem is, I know what makes me happy - but finishing school is in the way of that and adding to my stress. (sadly) Which is obviously why I appreciated what Robin had to say.
