It is always good to try new things. This last semester in college I took a class called Pods, Blogs and New Media. The class taught me how powerful of a tool the Internet is for delivering information. I kept this blog for the class and had an opportunity to develop a podcast. My podcast is on the new Windows Vista operating system. I hope you enjoy it.
Trying and learning new things can be a great idea to build your self-esteem. I hope that all of you think of something new you can learn. I feel great now that I have accomplished my first ever podcast.
Have you ever noticed when some people smile for a picture they keep their mouth shut. Many are very self-conscious over their smile and often try to hide it. Some people have naturally a beautiful smile. They have straight and pearly white teeth. Others have crooked, jagged and yellow teeth.
Some get braces while others can’t afford it. However, in the last few years it has become popular to whiten teeth. Teeth whitening can raise self-esteem and build confidence. There are strips and gels that people use. If whitening your teeth makes you feel better about your smile talk to a dentist or just go to a near by store and get some of the new things. Some products are naturally more expensive than others. All I know is feeling confident about your smile is important. Next time you take a picture be proud of those teeth and smile big for the camera.
Self-esteem issues are caused by numerous ideas or thoughts in our environment. Some say they are too fat, while others say they are unwanted. We need to be very proud of who we are and what made us become what we are. If you have low self-esteem, it often takes time to improve it.
A bilingual girl became involved in activities and is under going therapy. She has made great improvements on her self-esteem. Angelica, the girl, is looking for a home. I’m sure at times she has felt unwanted and unloved. However, if you read her profile she seems like a spectacular young lady with lots of potential. I hope she finds a wonderful and loving home.
Remember, improvement takes time. Make sure you surround yourself with people who care. If you feel like no one cares, get involved and seek help.
The program Girls on the Run tries helping girls in grades three through eight. The program’s goal is to entice girls in being nice to one another and being healthy. The girls exercise and do different activities for 12 weeks. After the 12 weeks the girls run 3.1 miles.
I think this program is one great idea to help young girls. If you were to make a program for girls in grades three through eight what would it be? Please share your thoughts and I look forward to reading them.
