The title of this blog is Education = Confidence. It could just as easily say Learning = Confidence, because the two are interchangeable. The point is simple: when you learn something new you feel more confident about who you are and what you can do. Obviously then, the more educated you are about any number of things, the higher your self-esteem will probably be.
Today was a great example of this. I learned to drive, and it was like I was 16 all over again. With my brother as my teacher, I finally learned to drive a manual transmission car. And I have to be honest, now that I can push in the clutch, shift, and give the car gas all at the same time, I do feel more confident. It’s another thing in life that I know how to do. Matter of fact, I’ve been driving my brother’s car all around town with no awkward stalling or embarrassing sputters in the road.
More than anything, it goes to show that at 26 years old, I still have plenty to learn and when I become more educated I still feel good about my accomplishments.
