Self- awareness and confidence is important in my everyday life because I struggled with an eating disorder and I had to learn that we only get one shot at life so we might as well make the best of it and be ourselves and do what YOU do best.

Confidence, positive attitude, outgoing. Willing to help others in a hand in need.

Its ok. Everyone struggles, but don't be afraid to try something new. Reach for your dreams and goals. Push yourself for what makes YOU happy and feel good about yourself and also not to think of others opinions.
