I really had to think for this one. Like Melody, I was trying to think of a moment when I was a child when my self-esteem was boosted, and not saying I was encouraged or had any moments when I was young, but to be honest, I have a hard to thinking of something when I'm thinking of it. So I usually think of something when I'm not on purpose thinking of it. So give me a few mins......
Okay, I think I've got something. When I was much younger, possibly around the age of 12, I started cheerleading. It was the girlish things I did when I was young. See, If you knew me I was such a tom boy it was ridiculous. But, cheerleading I felt like a girl, and I did it pretty good too. The coaches had me try out the next 3 years and every year I made it. I was always being told that I was so cute, I did such a great job with my stances, and one season I even got to be the "head cheerleader" by being able to say READY SET, before we started a cheer. So you can imagine how I felt about that. I really had fun doing tht. Although, when I got into highschool, cheerleading didn't seem as attractive. Let me just say, girls+drama= I don't want to be involved. And High School was like that. Maybe thats why I did homeschooling for the last 2 years of high school, LOL.
Well, that is my self-esteem Sunday. Maybe I'll think about next weeks self-esteem sunday better, LOL.
Woot, for Self-esteem sunday!
