Confidence

Today I spent almost an excessive portion of this morning reading through the reactions of some college students to our presentations in their class.  At first, it was completely what I had expected to hear, but there were some comments that seemed so overwhelmingly kind I was sure it must have been something that translated incorrectly.

But then I thought to myself: I am not really here for nothing.  I donʻt think I wouldʻve been chosen to come here for the summer and talk to people about Hawaiʻi.  No one really wants poor or false representation of their home, especially when the relations of sister states are concerned.

Today, those reactions helped me revamp my confidence and I was thankful for them.  If you have any students in any portion of your life, have them evaluate; it just makes people feel good.
