Interview Series: Interview With SELFidence

“Wonderful!” is the word Hninn, the 12th-grade Co-Director of Research of SELFidence used to describe the organization in one word.

Every wonder has its beginnings. Hninn first stumbled across SELFidence on Instagram. She experienced great mental enrichment from the Instagram posts and gathered a greater understanding of self-confidence and mental health. That is why she thought SELFidence would be “a warm, supportive community” to be a part of.

Before joining SELFidence, Hninn originally expected SELFidence to be a fun extracurricular and a chance to try out a leadership role. She confidently stated that the expectations were met over the past two years she has been with them. Moreover, she said it was a delightful experience being able to learn more about mental health from her peers.

Every experience has its golden moments. They may be the climax of big events that were organized or even the smallest incident that happened in the process. While looking back at the memories, Hninn’s favorite moment with SELFidence has been the simple calls she used to have with the members. Due to time constraints, she, unfortunately, wasn’t able to take part in multiple events such as fundraising webinars. However, the calls with the members helped her catch up with the rest of the team and get involved with the activities that were going on.

Hninn expressed how wonderful it was to envision ways to aid the youth grow more self-confident in small, but practical steps. And this is what she considers being most proud of as a member of SELFidence. She is determined that in the rest of the year 2023, she will contribute to further growing the SELFidence community and gain a more comprehensive global reach by leading the creation of well-articulated and knowledgeable posts.
