Challenge 171: CONFIDENCE

Confidence – believing in one’s own abilities, morality, or accuracy – is important! Without confidence, it’s much harder to try new things or take on challenges, make new friends or visit different places. It can be hard to develop confidence, especially for someone who’s never been encouraged to believe in themselves, but it often makes things easier once they do! But sometimes confidence can be taken too far. Overconfidence can be a major problem; someone who doesn’t realize their own limits might put themselves or someone else in danger, or might make mistakes because they don’t know they need to ask for help. Are your characters confident? Overconfident? If they don’t believe in themselves, is there someone else they’re confident in, or someone who believes in them? Write a story about confidence. BONUS GOAL: “It’s not exactly rocket science.” If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
