INDEPENDENCE
You learn how to be more independent in college. That is something I have learned and I am glad that I have. In high school, I had everyone there. There was no real independence. I have learned to be more self assertive and confident in what I need to do. Self esteem is still down but that is a habit I have to work on. I never give myself enough credit for things. Am I good enough? I could be, but I am not. I am just myself right now. As long as you know who you are, what you like to do, why you like to do the things you do, what makes you happy, who cares what other people think of you. That is who you are. I think I am still trying to figure those things out but I am on my way.
