On April 29th, my school decided to have an awards show for leadership. Those who attended were students and faculty involved in different clubs and leadership roles, such as Resident Assistants. To be honest, I had not been looking forward to this event for two reasons.
First, I knew there would be a lot of people and I get really anxious when there is a big crowd. Second, I knew we had to dress formal and that I would have to get a new dress/outfit specifically for this event. I have always hated shopping for new clothes and dressing up. I have a tendency to wear oversized athletic clothing, because I struggle with body image. So, you could imagine how I was feeling before this event. After 2 days of thrifting, I finally found a few options I liked and bought them. The day of the event, I asked my boss which dress to wear, and she chose the one in the picture above. I am so glad I listened to her and wore that dress! I think, deep down, she knew this dress would give me a boost in confidence and that I need to see how others see me.
Faithful Healing
