This document outlines a guidance program aimed at improving students' self-worth, self-esteem, and self-confidence. It includes exercises for students to reflect on their positive traits, accomplishments, and feelings of self-worth. Students are instructed to discuss incidents where they felt valued by others or made others feel valued. Additional exercises encourage students to talk positively to themselves in the mirror about their qualities, and to friends and family. The document discusses maintaining a distinction between self-worth and self-esteem, and provides tips for improving both, such as setting goals, helping others, and spending time with supportive people.

called for her job interview to begin. ON the outside,
she appears calm and composed. On the inside, she is
