"I find it difficult to say that I am proud of myself. I think we have it drummed into us as a child at some point that if you are proud of yourself then you're showing off or you're over confident. But that's not what being proud is. Being proud is recognising just how much time and hard work you have put into something, it's recognising just how far you've come and what you've achieved. And I'm slowly finding it easier to say that I am proud of myself because...I know I should be."
