When I was in seventh grade I had a big project to complete. It was for my son’s class and the project was about renewable energy. We had to create a presentation and also build a small model to explain our ideas. I worked on this project for about a week mostly at home and sometimes in the school library. What made it special was that I had never done something this big before. I did a lot of research and I had to learn new skills like building a solar panel, model and creating slides for my presentation. I also practiced speaking in front of the mirror to improve my confidence. When the day came to present I was nervous but excited. I explained my project clearly and confidently to my classmates and teachers. They are embarrassing and I answered all the questions they asked. After my presentation my teacher praised me for my hard work which made me feel really proud. This experience boosted my confidence because it showed me that I could handle big challenges if I worked hard and stayed focused. I realized that I had the ability to solve problems and present my ideas well. This helped me believe in myself more not just in school but also in other areas of life. The entire experience left me feeling empowered and proud of what I had achieved.
