This month at CMS we are focusing on the character trait of confidence. Confidence means trusting yourself and believing that you can grow, improve, and handle challenges, even when something feels uncomfortable or difficult at first. Confidence is not about always being the best or never making mistakes. It is about being willing to take healthy risks, learn, and keep trying. 

Middle school is full of new experiences, and confidence can be shown in many different ways. A confident student might join a club for the first time, share an idea during a group discussion, talk to a teacher about a problem, help a classmate, audition for a play or concert, attempt a difficult assignment, or bounce back after receiving constructive feedback. Confidence can also mean staying true to yourself and making positive choices even when others may not. 

This month, challenge yourself to try something new, believe in your ability to grow, and encourage others to do the same. Confidence grows every time you choose effort, courage, and perseverance.
