Hello my name is Jeremiah and I’m going to tell you why I think confidence is important. When I was in the fourth grade I was not very confident. I felt like I wasn’t very smart. But then my dad told me that I should be very confident about myself, so I prayed to God and asked Him to help me be confident.
In the fifth grade I started off the year with A’s and B’s. I had never done that before. Right then I realized God answered my prayers. We should all remember that God loves us all so we are all important, and since we are important we should be confident in ourselves.
