In 2011, I fought harder than I ever had in my life to recover from a severe traumatic brain injury and get back to high school. I later graduated college with a double major. I didn’t do it alone: Claire went hard in encouraging me to learn how to walk again, and my family sat through every appointment, every setback, and celebrated every tiny win. Step by step, they helped me rebuild a life I could recognize as my own.

Did you have a big experience that shaped who you are? Why or why not? Comment to let me know!
