I was unsure, lost and embarrassed when I dropped out of university and then suddenly all the things that I'd planned or understood to come next were taken out of reach. I had failed and lost control. I developed a chip on my shoulder and moving forward tried to project my perceived 'success' wherever I could. Here I share how I learned what really was important to 'my success' and how I took the opportunities that arose to take back control and create my own path to success.
