...elementary public school, I wasn't being challenged to reach my full potential. The program recognized this and placed me in Houston's top private schools. I struggled initially because the new environment caused me great anxiety and loss of self confidence. I soon realized my frame of mind greatly impacted my performance in the classroom.
