Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

A friend once told me, "Your story matters, even if you think it doesn't." This simple statement shifted my perspective and encouraged me to share my experiences more openly. They reminded me that everyone’s life has value and that sharing our stories can connect us and help others. It was a powerful affirmation of my experiences and feelings. Since then, I’ve been more open about my struggles and triumphs. This change has strengthened my connections with others and reinforced that our narratives are impactful, inspiring both myself and those around me.
