Someone may realize when they are mature enough that there was one special moment during their childhood that ultimately determined their lifelong goal.

Prior to registering for the class I knew I had areas to improve upon such as body language, lack of self-disclosure, and attribution, all of which I created plans to therefore enhance, but I had no doubt in my capabilities to be empathetic, skillful at solving conflict, and confident while speaking in front of others.
