Today at work a student expressed self doubt to a coworker. I told the student Believe in yourself.
Like many kids that age I have self doubt too.
I don't really remember getting told to believe in myself and think positive till high school. I was swimming in the sea of self doubt by then but occasionally washed to shore when I aced a test or a quiz.
I think kids these days but too much pressure of themselves to ace every test or quiz in order to stay on their team, club or just to keep with their peers. Many want to please their parents too and many feel that a B is not good enough.
When I got an A or a B I felt good. If I saw a red penned A+ on any paper it made my day!
I often here kids talking about college before they even set foot in high school. Long range planning or high hopes?
