Business
At a business conference this past year, Rachel Hollis asked us to raise our hands if we weren’t the prettiest, most popular girl in our seventh-grade class. Without a doubt, my hand went up. Seventh grade was a transition year for me and I looked worse at 12 than I ever have at any other stage of life. She asked us to keep our hands up if we felt like we would never be as “perfect” as that popular girl had been. As I’m holding up my hand, my mind begins reminding me of all the things I never was. I wasn’t that tiny waisted, seamlessly flawless and overly confident cheerleader with perfectly flat blond hair, rolled jeans, and a scrunchie on her wrist with a Jansport® backpack. It has been 27 years since I was in the seventh grade and my memories can still surface like I was just walking the halls of Woodside Middle School yesterday. I think that’s why Rachel brought it up in her speech. She knows she’s not the only one who has allowed experiences in her adolescence to impact how she views herself as an adult.
