Changes I see in Myself

I used to be an inferior young girl with little or no confidence in what I did. In fact, I was always doubtful, fearful and feeling envious of others' achievements. I remember my teacher complaining to my mother when she went to school to collect my academic progress report that I had been so quiet in class. The only person I talked to was my closest friend sitting next to me and the thing that kept us occupied was homework and more homework (self-given). 

Even after I adjourned to my secondary stage of life, I still didn't manage to pick up the skills of building up my self-confidence. People around me were obviously doing one or few steps ahead of me, in terms of academic results, personality, and et cetera. I was still heavily shrouded with fear and low self-esteem. 

But as I grow more into puberty, I learned that I couldn't afford to remain as who I was. Even at such a tender age, I saw the need to develop and grow stronger. Thanks to my parents too, they made me realized the importance of self-protection and I saw the risk and danger of being too timid. 

Slowly and eventually, I began injecting forces into my mind for changes. Along with some environmental assistance such as studying in the university, taking up tuition classes, mingling with friends and igniting my inner motivation, I managed to develop my self-confidence and suppressed the intensity of inferiority in me to its lowest. 

People say society itself teaches more than the university and I believe this is very true. I gained the utmost values and lessons after venturing into work, albeit being just a part-time tutor. It enhances my maturity, widens my wisdom and more importantly, I have learned to be more confident, positive and cheerful.
