I discussed with my friend the importance of belonging as a key to long term success. This friend and I are involved in a lot of the same social and academic organizations here and campus so we were able to really relate to this prompt. I highly agree with that idea, and believe that it is difficult to feel confident if you don't feel that you belong. If you don't have confidence, it is a lot harder to be successful. My friend brought up her experience in her freshman year here at UT. She said that she found many different communities that she felt super included and welcomed in, and that is what ultimately led her to have a successful and fulfilling year. I completely agreed, and also believe that I felt a large sense of belonging within the dance area as well.

The idea of finding your inner strength really resonated with me. I really do believe that all you need in this world to be successful is yourself, and you just need to find the strength to accomplish your goals.

Throughout this entire semester, and while reading this book, I have really focused on listening to the ways that I talk to myself and monitoring my negative self talk. This book has given me a lot of guidance on what is helpful self talk and what isnt, and it has given me a whole new way to look at how I approach different situations.
