I have always been the type of person that most people call a "push-over". Always doing the extra work that my partner would slack off on at school, or being talked in to odd jobs that give me no cedit or satisfaction in the end. When new opportunities were presented before me, I would always decline, just from the thought that someone else might want it more then me. Other people, some of who I will never get to know on a personal note, were gaining from my selflessness, whiles I stayed in the same place as before. this began to spring thoughts in my head as to why I did that.
After those questions, I started to see that to get anywhere in life, you needed to put yourself before others. I began to put my self out there more, agreed to opportunities, and contest that I could enter; and believe it or not, I wont not only those competitions, but always a some confidence. This confidence helped me to push harder in everything I do. To take more chances, and to not always worry about everyone else. I wish I had realized this earlier, instead of just recently.
Though I am in Key Club, which is a group of people who's main goal is to help others, I still sure to remind myself that in order to help others, I need to help myself first.
