Stepping Into Your Authenticity

Powerful Paragraph

When I look back to who I was when I was in high school, and to some extent in college, I feel the need to recoil. In hindsight, I hated high school, but only because I had no idea who I was. And I attempted to find myself in all the wrong ways - mostly in relationships with others. I realize now that college was my first time defining life as I saw it, at least in some regards. Yet, I was still held back by the expectations of others, and my need to live up to them. It wasn’t until my late twenties that I started asking myself what I really wanted out of life. I went through CTEDU’s coach-training program and realized that I was finally taking big strides to step into the person I always wanted to become. I’m still working at it everyday, but it wasn’t until I could let go of who and what others wanted me to become and stepped into my own authenticity that I could even begin the journey.
