While teaching at East Lake Academy, I was allowed the opportunity to talk with several young ladies about true identity and a positive self-concept. After class on day one, a young lady pulled me aside, seeming very puzzled. "Ms. Faith, I need to speak with you," she demanded. Her mind was in shambles as she tried to sort through why her ex-boyfriend was breaking up with her to "talk" to some other young lady.  So many of our young ladies do not spend time building upon their self-esteem and becoming aware of who they are. They feel their identity is defined in a relationship with a young man, their sexuality, sporting the latest fashions, and the like. It was comforting hearing this young lady later say, "Thank you, Ms. Faith, for helping me realize it's okay to "do me" right now. "Do you" or "do me" is a common motto our young people have begun to adopt in their lives. "Doing you" allows our young people to become confident and comfortable in and with who they are. It relieves them of the pressure to become or portray someone else. I told the young ladies that it was okay to be selfish right now. "Now is the time for you to figure out who you are, what your dreams consist of, and to develop a plan to achieve your goals," is what I seem to repeat over and over again. What a sign of relief that young lady brought me, someone's getting the message!
