What is Self-confidence & the Benefits
Self-confidence is the feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment
Short Term Benefits: Lower chance of falling victim to bullying; fuels the courage, motivation, and focus to complete goals; less likely to be discouraged by comparing oneself to others; developing oneself in the image you want; more likely to pursue leadership opportunities
Long Term Benefits: More likely to follow one’s dreams and pursue jobs that you find interesting and love doing; less likely to fear failure; more likely to become strong leaders in the community,
Lacking Self-confidence Leads To sadness, less likely to take challenges, not as likely to trust yourself ,eating disorders, depression, anxiety

There has been an increased concern about a lack of self-confidence in a subset of youth due to the pressure of following trends and not expressing themselves. Extensive research shows the value of participating in organized activities in developing self-confidence. In the community, I have noticed that a lot of youth will migrate or be pushed towards participating in activities and sports that are popular or have a higher value in our community. This creates stereotypes for the activities that are both “valued” or “not valued.”
With the pressure on youth to “fit in”, these stereotypes and opinions can lead to the migration I discussed earlier towards activities with “positive” connotations or a popular status. Some youth may not want to participate in these activities but feel obligated to in order to feel accepted by the community. Youth may not have the “right skill set” to succeed in the activity and may not derive enjoyment from participating in the activity. Further research studies show that a lack of motivation or love of an activity can have a negative impact on self-confidence. It is paramount to enlighten communities on the importance of participating in activities that youth want to participate in, not necessarily the ones their peers feel they should.

Activate Your Self-Confidence

My project is geared to providing youth with the understanding that they do not have to follow all the trends their peers engage in in order to feel accepted. Rather, having a high level of self-confidence naturally draws you to a “happy place’ in a community. Self-confidence is fueled by the motivation and desire to work hard and have fun practicing as well as learning how to improve your skills to achieve your goals.
