I am a Fantastic Person, Really

Challenge #3: Improving My Self-Esteem

No matter how many times Nathan tells me I'm beautiful, how often professors say I'm smart, or my friends say I'm strong, I don't always believe it. I try so hard to, but I tend to forget when I need it the most.

So, here's to arrogance for a few sentences:

I am smart, attractive, accomplished, and able. Very little can stand in my way. I change for me, and for nobody else. I care for myself just as I care for others. I am important, worth while, and I deserve good things. I have a driving force that is carrying me through my college years. There are people in my life who love me and care for me, even if I can't see them through the fog. I feel better after venting, and most outlets for stress are acceptable, including sharing that stress with friends. I don't need to apologize for the way I am.

There we go. I feel better now. While this paragraph is tailored to me, each person out there has a list of amazing accomplishments that they may or may not be aware of. I encourage you to write yours, or ask me and I can write it.

Challenge #3: Work in Progress

Q

Could this double as a personals ad? Maybe not.
