Hello, everyone! I am in the final semester of my junior year of high school. Baking, listening to Taylor Swift, writing song lyrics, reading Colleen Hoover, and most of all spending time with my loved ones are some of my favorite things to do. I was immediately drawn to 7 cups when I discovered it offered emotional support to anyone in need, anywhere. Although I cannot completely relate or understand to people who go through the issues listed who come to the support service, I am confident to say that I will provide a welcoming environment for them to open up and use my genuine ability to truly listen and find ways in which I can be of assistance. I have personally experienced many emotionally difficult times in my life. In this period, I believe that if I had been aware of this wonderful resource, 7 cups, it would have helped me immensely. Having someone to talk to, knowing that you are not the only one going through a difficult journey, and having others to support and communicate with is incredibly valuable. My open-mindedness enables me to embrace people's diverse perspectives and situations without judging them. It will be crucial for me to have strong communication skills in order to be able to actively listen and speak with individuals seeking emotional support. This support group gives me the opportunity to use my talent and abilities to help others in need, what I am mostly passionate about.
