Lesson 1. It Starts from Inside of Me
Jane
I have a lot of questions about myself.
“How good do I look to others?”,
“How many students in my class really like me?”,
and “How worthy am I?”
These questions come to me so often that I find it difficult to get along with friends and to concentrate on my school work.
Counseling Psychologist
Since you have just started high school, it may not be easy for you to fit in with new people and keep your own self-identity in a whole new environment.
But why don’t you just be yourself?
No one is going to like you if you don’t like yourself.
The more you listen to your inner self, the real you, the more confident you will feel about yourself.
When you don’t feel right about what you’re wearing or how you look, just do the best you can and look at yourself in the inner mirror rather than the social mirror.
When you are not sure about trying something new and unfamiliar, focus on your own feelings instead of worrying about what others may think of you.
I hope you will give serious consideration to the following suggestions and try to act on them during the first semester.
1. Try to accept and value who you are: Everyone is unique and special in their own way.
2. Talk to others: Everyone gets a better perspective on life from communication.
3. Learn from your mistakes: Nobody learns without making mistakes.
Sooner or later, you will find yourself feeling more self-confident and motivated than ever before―without worrying what others think of you.
Poet
I hope you like this poem which I wrote when I started high school.
The Real Me
I used to keep my paint brush with me
Wherever I needed to go,
In case I needed to cover up myself
So the real me didn’t show.
I’d like to remove all my paint coats
To let the true me show
To have the inner self out,
I hope it won’t be too slow.
Now all my paint coats are coming off
I feel bare and cold,
But I love all that I see
The real me, pure as gold.
Pop Singer
Why don’t you listen to my song?
Believe in your own strength, and stretch out your wings and fly.
