Students at our school tend to apply to colleges and universities that are anywhere from 10 miles to out of state, but fear keeps the large majority within a 5mile radius when it comes to choosing a school. I'd like a class set of Tracy Tutor's "Fear Is Just a Four-Letter Word: How to Develop the Unstoppable Confidence to Own Any Room" so that our 11th and 12th-grade students can gain some insight from someone who was seen and still gets seen as an "underdog" in her career. When I have had the opportunity to take my students to different colleges to be a part of panels or discussions, although they may have the foundation and preparation needed to participate, they tend to hold back because they lack confidence. Sometimes it takes the "brave one" to speak up first before they all eventually speak up. When we head back to school I usually get the same reaction "Ms. they're so smart! We don't have a chance!" I see the sense of defeat on them, but then I remind them of something they said that made others participate and make for a better discussion. That brings back a sense of hope. I want the students to be able to develop their confidence, learn to push themselves to get where they want to be, and not give in to "they're better/smarter than me".
