As a child, my mother worked as a nurse and as a result, our schedules did not align and we had limited opportunities for conversation. However, she found unique ways to communicate with me and instill in me a sense of hope and inspiration. She left me small notes, clippings, and quotes on my bathroom mirror, reminding me of my potential. These messages have since become cherished keepsakes in my journals. Through her unwavering belief in me, I was able to develop a belief in myself. Similarly, Ralph Waldo Emerson struggled in his early education due to dyslexia, which was not well understood at the time and was labeled as being mentally ill. After unsuccessful attempts to work with the public school system, his mother decided to homeschool him. He was taught by three remarkable women in his family who recognized his potential for greatness. Through their tutelage, he was introduced to spiritual and religious readings, great thinkers from the past and present, and various subjects such as languages, philosophy, science, and literature. Their perspective and teachings allowed him to see beyond the limitations imposed on him and he went on to become a renowned poet, essayist, and philosopher. Emerson's words, "What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you," highlight the importance of having someone believe in us. We all need validation at times, an outside voice to give us the courage to overpower the doubts in our own mind, so that we can unlock our true potential.
