The Courage to Be Seen: Finding Strength in Self-Advocacy
I have discovered that standing up for yourself is always a good thing. Doing everything you can to ensure your success is always better than remaining silent and feeling confined by that glass. Speaking up for yourself is a strength. It indicates that you are aware of your own needs. Speaking up is evidence that you are advocating for your future successes. Furthermore, it demonstrates that you have chosen to pursue the best opportunity for success.
