“My mom is the most influential person in my life by far. She always talks so positivity and helps me find ways to deal with stress which is super cool. [My mom] also does non-verbal things to show her support. Sometimes she is just there to give me a hug or to let me have space when I need it. She also has always been a listening ear. I think that non-verbal support is just as important as verbal support and my mom has definitely helped me learn that.”
