Gracie had always been an extremely likeable and well-mannered student, however, Gracie’s low levels of self-confidence meant that should would often blend into the crowd rather than allow herself to flourish. If Gracie was set an academic task that she did not understand feelings of worry and self-doubt would creep in and she would switch off immediately. This extremely capable child was at risk of not meeting her full potential and allowing these feelings of self-doubt to consume her. Through taking part in the Raising Self-Esteem programme Gracie was able to speak about her difficulties with her peers and recognise that she was not alone. Through fully embracing the support provided, it is fair to say that her progress has been incredible. Gracie no longer sits back, now she is the first to attempt new challenges without fear of failure. Not only have her fears of not completing her work correctly disappeared, but most importantly, she has found the confidence to be happy with herself in all areas of her life.
