What is your definition of Confidence?

My definition of confidence is, believing in yourself and believing you can do something hard even if you've never done it before.

What is something that you have confidence in doing?

One thing that I have grown in confidence this year is making friends, I have grown in this because this year I have made two really good friends in my grade which has always been hard for me.

How has your confidence developed during your sixth grade year?

1.  One way I gained confidence in art class is how I now have confidence in my art skills because at the beginning of the year I did not think I was that good at drawing and painting, but because I kept trying and believing in myself I was able to become better at art.

2. One thing I gained confidence in personally is my singing voice because I  had a theater class this year, and in it we made a musical, when I first started I knew a lot of the people but I didn't really have any friends, but then after a while I started making friends like Rex and Lili, and seeing some people from school that I recognized, like Noah, Elan, and Enzo. I also started believing in myself and singing with everyone during the song, and by the play I was confident in my singing voice.

what can challenges or failures teach us about confidence? 

1.   While challenges and failures may seem bad they aren't, they can actually teach us a lot about ourselves and about our confidence, one personal example of this is how it used to be a challenge for me to read, but after a lot of encouragement and help from my peers I was able to start becoming confident in reading, and now I love it.
