A few months ago, Isaiah got a part time job working at Jewel. This was a big deal for him. He gets nervous easily, and it was hard for him to take the steps to get that job. He also was not sure he could juggle his classes and a job.
He started off bagging and collecting carts.
A few weeks ago he was asked if he wanted to train to be a cashier. He nervously agreed, but put off the training week after week. Finally, on Friday he had his first day as a casher.
This was a HUGE deal for him.
😟 He was nervous about having to talk to customers.
😟 He was nervous about all of the nuances of the job.
😟 He was scared about messing up.
😟 He was scared about "looking stupid."
Despite these fears, he decided to accept the opportunity and start training.
✅ He stretched beyond his comfort zone.
✅ He was afraid but did it anyway.
And after his shift, he sent me a text that said, "You can post about it."
I interpreted that as his way of publicly celebrating his win! As you know, I believe in celebrating wins big and small. 🥳
I am super proud of my awesome son. He is steadily growing in confidence. Yes, he and I have conversations on the topic regularly and he is around what I do.
But it's not about me or what I say to to him. Ultimately, he has to make the decision to do the work on himself, to seek that mental clarity, and to take brave action.
