Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

definitely did not see herself as a person of strength.
The “AHA” Moment
At 15, the teacher gave Shaen the quote that no one can feel inferior but herself. This gave her a moment where she can choose the life she wants to live.

Shaen is more uplifted, motivated, taking action towards the positive and achieving beyond what she
thought she could.
