A little introspection...

To me, being successful means...
Being happy. having friends and family who support me in all areas of my life. Having a job/career that I am excited about and proud of.

My definition of success has not changed over time.

Completing business school, I was always smart and worked hard, but i never thought I could really succeed in that world. I learned to never doubt myself.

Staying in a relationship too long. Don't settle!

An unexpected event that changed my life and how it impacted me
My father passed away, and it forever changed my life. My family became really close, but I alway wonder what my life could have been.
