Initially, I wanted Michele to be an affirmer and fan of my pre-formed aspirations, but I quickly learned that she would not let me stay comfortable in my safe plan for life. Michele was very aware of my weaknesses, and wanted me to fight to live a better life. I didn’t believe in myself as much as Michele believed in me.
Now, I feel like I can fully be myself. I am much more able to articulate my strengths, weaknesses, wants and needs because of Michele. She is dedicated to the things she speaks about, and dedicated to me. Because of Michele’s role in my life, I know I will always be learning; she wouldn’t let me stop.
