When I began high school, I wasn't the most confident kid. I did not believe I could attend college. I did well in school and participated in many after-school activities. I was able to take up many leadership roles there.
Many teens that age go through things during their high school years, and I wasn't an exception. They guided me through so many difficult things and made sure I always stayed positive. The time came to apply to college and I did not have any interest in it. They encouraged me to get a degree. But I didn't think that I was smart enough to attend a four-year university. Because they saw something in me, they encouraged me to try.
While I studied in DePauw, I experienced culture shock. When I came home for break, I would go visit my teachers at the school. They were always willing to listen, take time out of their schedule and provided me with a space to talk about my experiences with them. They always gave me the best advice that they could. Perhaps they do not realize it, but by providing me with a space to tell my experiences, they were helping me get better. Every word of encouragement stuck with me. I knew that they believed in me, and I did not want to let them down.
If it wasn’t for them, I would not be graduating from DePauw University. While in high school, they offered me so much guidance in my study, but they guided me more in my personal life. Their advice has played an important part in the shaping of who I am today. They believed in me so much that I started to believe in myself. It is because of teachers like them that students gain confidence.
