Letter to mom

Dear Mom,
Hi mom, I just wanted to keep you updated with my life and what is going on with me. I recently got a new job at an accounting firm. I noticed at work while I was processing tax forms that need approval and verification for everything that I did. I came home and I was thinking about why that was the case. I thought back to when I was in middle school and I think it was because I was bullied a lot growing up. I don't know if you know this but I'm dealing with a lot of insecurities and low self esteem. I think middle school really changed my life, and the way I see life. I was put down constantly because of my ethnicity, and because I was introverted. Being constantly put down for an entire school year rally had an affect on my self confidence. I didn't feel like I was good enough, and til this day I am still seeking approval from others. Also, a fault of mine is that I take things too personally and I care too much about what others think about me. I know if I was confident in myself that these things would not matter. I'm still working on my confidence by this experience definitely has changed the way I viewed others, and myself. I think one good outcome of it is, because I care so muc about what others think of me, I started to be more considerate of other people's feelings and needs. I put others before myself and I like helping people. I like making others happy.
