Confidence coincides with them
having a good self-esteem and self-image. Confidence keeps them from
fearing the future and gives them the strength to pursue their dreams and desires, which can allow them to set larger goals for themselves. Volunteering
at Fox Lake Farms gave me a greater confidence not only in myself but in the
people around me and the good that is accomplished through the efforts we all
put forth.
Seeing the appreciation for
my willingness and hard work, and seeing my hard work helping others gave me a
sense of pride that built my confidence
to do more, not only here at Fox Lake Farms but out in my community as well. So much so, that I brought two of my boys
with me to volunteer. They both were
unsure at first, but soon were working hard with those at Fox Lake, giving them
much needed jobs that they were more than capable of completing. By the end of the day, we all felt a great
sense of accomplishment.
As a parent,
seeing my boys accept the challenge of volunteering, work hard at it, and then accomplishing
it with pride and fulfillment, became obvious that the confidence they gained
will inspire them to do more.
