While it has become common to see adults go through periods of low confidence, instances of kids suffering from a lack of confidence or low self-esteem also seem to be on the rise. While such cases are enough to make parents concerned, a little kid’s enthusiastic essay on her favourite person is just the perfect thing to go through. A woman recently shared her daughter’s essay on “My Favourite Person” which shows the little girl celebrating no one but herself.
The user on X began by mentioning that she hoped to read about herself in her daughter’s essay but was satisfied after she picked something better. “The prompt was to write about your favourite person. And my daughter picked herself. (I was secretly hoping she would pick me and was prepared to be jealous of anyone else she picked but this is better than I imagined),” she wrote.
Further, she shared a picture of her daughter’s essay, which was a page filled with self-appreciation and quite a lot of confidence. “I like myself because I was a very good anchor in sports day. I like myself because I am independent. I like to shout a lot. I like to draw. I am very very impatient. I cannot wait in the bus. I want to reach school in a second,” a part of the essay read. The personal touch of “ooh and aaah” from the little kid’s expression as she finds the history of dinosaurs just makes the essay more interesting.

Social media users also left no stone unturned to praise the girl and her confidence level. A user wrote, “To quote her, it is most interesting. What a confident child!”, while another commented, “I like to shout a lot … I am very impatient”!! Me too.”
“I LOVE her!!! This is so aliiiiiiiiiveeeeeee and heartful,” a comment read. Another one mentioned, “I ooh and aah at dinosaurs history is the best way to describe the excitement one gets from learning new things. So Precious.”
A user also shared her own views and penned, “Love this!! Please preserve this and frame it, and give it to her on her 18th birthday or something ???? I hate to think of all of us women who started out as confident little girls with healthy self-esteems – until society stamps that out and replaces it with imposter syndrome.”
