Activity 23: Fashion Show: Building Confidence: (A Reflection Paper)
Building self confidence is never easy. So, we should always start doing small
things to improve it because this could be of help specially in the near future when we will
going to seek a job or encounter any other significant instances. Thus, having this fashion
show really helps me to work out my self-confidence as well as my self-image as a
student.
Honestly, walking in front of many people is such an awkward feeling — that feeling
when you are passing by and then their head turned, looking at you from head to toe,
examining you as a whole wherein sometimes, they tend to start gossiping something in
result of laughing — which made me feel so conscious, ashamed at the same time.
But, with the help of this kind of activity, I gradually gained self-confidence, that is
why earlier you have noticed that I walk confidently because I used to join in this field way
back then. But with this fact, I still feel nervous because I am facing new faces in front of
me judging my image as a student which challenges me to have courage, to trust my self,
and to think positively, that is why eventually, I made it through.
Therefore, if I could manage to have confidence in this small activity, I also believe
that I can do the same in bigger instances. Indeed, having such image will help me
through this journey of life, because if you do have the courage within you, nothing will
doubt your capabilities, that is why it is very much important to create a confidently
beautiful image.
However, we must not go beyond our limitations — having too much confidence
can harm yourselves and the people surrounds you — so keep in mind of having it in
moderate. In addition, we should also know when or where to boost our confidence so
that we could not put things in the wrong place.
I know, it is not easy to fight our fears within, but if we let that won, nothing good
will happen in our lives. Well, I understand that nervousness you have felt because it is
your first time, however do not let it happen redundantly. Once is enough, so make it
better the second time around. Work on it slowly, because everything takes time in
learning. As for me, there are still some much I need to learn, reflect and build as I go
through this journey of life; building self-confidence and self-image are just one of these.
So, good luck to us!
