I have had very few in my life, I think, but I feel as though those one or two experiences I had where strangers showed me compassion despite my difference may have shaped me into how I am today.

Do you feel like you had or have any role models? What do you like about them or what do you feel you would like to emulate from their behavior?

For me, my role models were just regular people. Once was with a substitute teacher and the other was a professor on campus. Both times I recall clearly and although the interactions only lasted for a few moments, I cherish them dearly.

No.

I don't even understand the concept.

But I've learned something from almost everyone I've spent any significant time with.

Tbh, I don't understand the concept of friendship. So I can kind of relate there. Thank you for sharing!
