6.1 Self esteem and Self-efficacy

Self esteem has many effects on what you do. If you don’t think that you can do something, then you automatically from the beginning put a handicap on yourself. It lowers the chances of you being able to do it. On the other hand if you believe that you can and that you will do some thing you are more willing to push yourself to do it and you will have a much better chance of doing it.

I used to be one of those shy girls that stuck to my-self and just focused on doing good in school. That was until I had a teacher that one day kept me after class and told me that I would do great in my future but if I wanted to really matter I needed to stop letting everyone push me around and stand up for myself. Always give 110% no matter what and stop caring about what other people think of me.

That teacher is one of my biggest hero’s I listened to what he had to say and I put it into action and now I am this first person in my family to EVER graduate high school. I have five different Certificates that I have earned and I will have my associate’s degree in just a few months.
