Publisher's Synopsis
Navigating the teenage years can be one of the most challenging journeys upon which young people embark. While managing peer pressure and facing increased freedom and responsibility, a young adult's self-esteem can quickly become a fragile entity. While becoming a "great" kid can be formidable, it's not impossible. With guidance, you can discover the superior abilities and character qualities that distinguish you from others. This thought-provoking book shares ideas, questions, and lessons to enlighten you about where greatness begins. You may be surprised that you've possessed greatness all along, and it just takes some thoughtful insight-then action-to help that greatness emerge. Author Daniela Vinci shares a series of stories and anecdotes based on the premise that our life experiences shape our thinking and help us understand who we are. She firmly believes that others' experiences can change your life, just like your experiences can change others' lives. Detailing her own battles with self-doubt, anorexia, uncertainty about her future, and how to best reach her goals, Daniela draws you into her own story. Connecting these examples to her deeply-ingrained core beliefs, Daniela shares ways to work through issues and find your core-to find your greatness.
