11. My story: In the beginning
I was not always a good leader. I remember being really involved in helping members and staff when I was younger. Then I lost all my passion to help other. I had problems with self-confidence and not believing in myself which it hard to respect myself. In the process, others lost respect for me as well. I had to learn to care about myself, and put myself first, and then help others. Not only that, l but I had to learn not to do more than I could handle, and to take breaks a needed then go back to what I was doing. When I learned all these important step, I gained my passion back, and with it came self-confidence, and my commitment to keep going.
