Looking Up
I can still remember the way my tennis shoes looked as I stared down at them, feeling anxious about what was about to take place. It was time for the weekly eleventh-grade volleyball game. I knew I would never be the best 41 on any team. But every week, I stared at my shoes and simply wished I wouldn’t be picked 42 . And yet I was last almost every time. No team wanted the girl who always 43 the ball, and missed the easy serves.
Years later I realized how much those moments of 44 had affected me. I began to expect the 45 in every situation, repeatedly telling myself that I just wasn’t good enough. I grew up staring at my 46 .
All that began to 47 during the summer vacation in high school. My mom’s sister Aunt Karen, offered me a part-time job. I had always admired Aunt Karen 48 she was successful and led such an exciting life. Her good manner and warm smile were totally different from the 49 way I approached the world. But that summer she taught me to look at things 50 .
Aunt Karen said that the secret 51 success comes from the inside, not the outside. I was shocked to learn her experience had been similar to mine. She hadn’t been good at 52 , either! Aunt Karen said she finally realized what other people thought of her didn’t 53 as much as what she thought of herself. She told me when she started noticing her own good qualities, she 54 being so self-critical.
So that summer I took her 55 to heart. I listened to what I was saying to myself and decided to focus more on the good. For example, when I misfiled an important paper, I 56 myself of all the other ones I had filed correctly. And when I was shown the dirty closet, I said to myself that I would be great at 57 it. Before long I had learned a valuable lesson. 58 thinking actually works!
By the time school started that fall, I was much more 59 . I went along with people around me with a totally different attitude. When my chemistry teacher announced that we should each find a lab partner, 60 looking down at my shoes, I looked up and smiled. And do you know what happened? A very nice girl immediately asked me to be in one group!
