Carly Benes uses the word confident to describe herself and gave me a couple good reasons why she sees herself as confident. One of the reasons is because she wears more non traditional clothing and less name brand stuff as she goes thrift shopping a lot. This is due to the fact she does not care what other people think. The best example of this is a story from high school. Carly went to a private school in Wahoo, Nebraska where the only thing the girls had a lot to wear were Khaki shorts. Carly and her friend fought to at least be allowed to wear skirts and eventually got that allowed. The part that showed confidence was how everyone made fun of them for wearing skirts but they kept on doing it. They did not care when other people were bullying them about it which takes an extreme amount of confidence.
