List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Graduating

Getting married to the love of my life

Becoming a mother

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Working with people who would break you down with their harsh words and actions, made me stronger in my faith and taught me to stand up for myself

Out of comfort zones experiences such as public speaking, equiped me with bravery to become more outspoken and vocalizing my feelings and thoughts effectively

Disfunctional family, hostility while growing up, created empathy for other people suffering through alcohol abuse. I want to provide comfort for people dealing with the same issues.
