THE WORST! Yet I was an ace at ultimate frisbee and I could fix my own car or anyone's car stereo in a heartbeat : ) It wasn't until I started recording and performing in 11th grade that I ever felt like I could do something truly special. I'm still working on that self esteem thing, but the constant self challenge of putting myself "out there" and intentionally doing things that challenge my comfort level has made a huge difference. I hope all of us can learn from each other and realize that our individuality are what make us the most beautiful.Let your freak flags fly!I think it's pretty common for people to have self-esteem issues to one degree or another and to think that everyone else is more together than they are. And some people you think are very confident really aren't at all. Casey

Too bad it took me so many years to really learn this lesson and believe it, but I'm glad I finally got there : )
