There are a couple of things that I can do to attain confidence, but I do not think that accomplishments are the measure of a person’s confidence. This quality comes with compartmentalizing different areas of your life, and not letting the negative parts of your life to screw with the other parts of your life that have the potential of being positive. If problems arise that can be fixed, expect the problems to be fixed. Learn how to let things go. Learn how to focus when things need to be done (complete tasks, don’t stress over them). They will be done. MCAT is an example of a task that I turned into a negative. I have to let the negative feelings go, and just take it as just another task to accomplish my goal to be a doctor. I don’t need to associate the MCAT with my ego. I won’t be one of those people.

this quality has been elusive for me, but I’ve attained it at times. Just being totally secure with myself and feeling good about myself has been an issue. I act like I”m older, but I look young. I’ve been underestimated in this way many times, and I don’t know how to overcome confidence barrier.
