“…It’s one thing to be telling your kids to do the right thing and work hard at school, but it’s another thing to have them see you do it yourself. They listen to me more because they know that I have been going through all this myself. I was able to advocate for them at their school because I knew what it was like to be in their position, and I had learned about the resources that could be available.”
