This year I have been going through sort of a rough patch in life. I have never been the type to be a leader. I am very much of a follower. I do not like having responsibilities over others. However this year I tried putting myself out there more and it backfired. I interviewed for two different organizations, Fashion Board and Gamma Chi, and got turned down by both. I was also kicked off my college club volleyball team.
Ever since this has all happened I have felt down about everything in my life. I felt as if I wasn't good enough, I wasn't wanted, etc. It brought me down in almost every aspect of my life. I started skipping class, not doing homework, and isolating myself from those who love me. I felt that no matter how hard I tried and how much I wanted it, it just simply was not good enough.
Here recently however, I am staring to find my confidence in myself again. I got a new job that I love. I have spent more time with my friends than ever. I am still working on putting myself out there again for leadership positions and things I am passionate about.
Overall I am trying to say that no matter what life throws at you, you have to get back up and keep trying. I know it sounds cheesy bu its true. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. You have to keep putting yourself out there for the things you love and think you would be great at.
