Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

Life was just a collection of reactions that all rolled into a ball of reaction.

The “AHA” Moment

Allyn understood the power of not buying into stories. Her family did not have means however they figured out a way to put her in an environment where privileged kids went to school. She excelled, pranked and failed like the other kids did. Because she thought she was just as capable as they were, she didn’t know she was poor until she went to one of her friend’s houses.
