Emily and Drew
Emily’s lacrosse team finally won a game after four consecutive losses. Instead of praising them, their coach told them, “Don’t let this win go to your heads. You girls are still not ‘good enough’ and the extra practice times are still on the schedule this week.” Emily went home, looked at her pile of homework and thought, “It’s true, I’m not good enough on the field or in school.” Emily has a habit of calling herself, “Not good enough.”
Drew arrived at his friend’s house to pick up the crew and head to a movie. As friends piled into his car, they told Drew that he just didn’t have any sense of style. Drew looked at his shorts and shirt and thought, “What’s wrong with how I’m dressed?” At the movie theater, they ran into some girls they knew. While the others were flirting away, Drew stood awkwardly, thinking, “I have no sense of style.” Drew has a habit of calling himself, “Uncool.”
