I knew I had some talents and abilities, but I wasn’t exactly sure what they were or how to use them. I saw other kids around me succeeding at all the things I wished I had the courage to do. Sometimes I tried and gave up. Sometimes I didn’t even try. I just felt like it was useless. It was all pretty frustrating. I had dreams. I WANTED TO DO THINGS, but I wasn’t sure I could—or even how to start.

Then slowly, step-by-step, I learned to change the thing s that had bothered me for as long as I could remember. After a while , some of the things that had seemed so scary didn’t seem that scary anymore. I made new friends and tried new things. I learned how to feel good about the things that used to bother me. And to feel good about me!
You’re probably asking yourself—HOW? How did I mak e this change? I did it by learning about myself. And I’m still learning! I love to LEARN and I love to keep changing for the better. There are so many tools and practices that have helped me achieve the things I’ve always wanted to achieve. I’ve been able to build new SKILLS that help me to grow and keep learning. I’m still developing and growing every day. It feels awesome to be able to do the things I couldn’t do before. Now I have the courage to try stuff I used to think I would never be able to do!
