Throughout my life I’ve always lacked self-confidence and never been outspoken. I didn’t think I was good enough and would only open up to those that were close to me.
I was always the one sitting in the corner by myself or the one just listening in to what others had to say.
During my time at WT, I’ve grown tremendously as an individual and have gained more confidence in myself.
My professors told me that they wish I would have spoken up more in class because they know I have the potential.
I have also met a wonderful guy who I am now dating that has helped me on becoming more outspoken.
He always tells me that confidence is everything and is the number one rule you should live by.
With every new day, I try to remind myself to always be confident.
I’m nearing completion of my final year at WT and it’s been a stressful one.
As a mass communication major, I had to put together a senior portfolio incorporating examples of my work during the past four years.
On top of the portfolio, I had to present it in front of members of the mass communication faculty.
It was at this point that I finally realized I could step outside my box and show others who I truly am. Graduation is just around the corner and I can see the light in the distance.
I have found the inner strength in me to go out into the real world and take on life’s endless possibilities.
Though my confidence is not where it needs to be, I am still striving to show others that I am a great person inside and out. I will no longer get bogged down with the little things in life, but instead look forward to each new day.
