At school I was fairly ‘middle of the road’.
Definitely not bottom of the class - but definitely not an A* pupil either.
I found school hard too. I can’t say I loved it- like some people can. But, I didn’t hate it either.
But mostly, I always fretted about what other people thought of me.
Fast forward to university and I chose that opportunity to reinvent me.
I wasn’t going to be afraid anymore.
No one knew me.
This was the chance to be confident and finally let the real me out.
And I did. From day one, walking into my student house, I decided to be the confident me. The me I knew was there all along - but was too scared to come out in front of those who’d known me for ever.
Now I am running my own business.
‘Panicking about A-Levels’ me would NEVER have believed I could have done that.
I’m currently working on something really special with a client, and it’s somehow bought back a lot of old emotion. Not in a bad way, but making me really see how far I’ve come.
I am brave enough to challenge thinking. I am bright enough to be asked. And I’m proud enough to say yes.
If ‘School me’ could see me now, I really wonder what she’d say.
