All of the things we have been taught could make us confident, she is not.
She does not turn her shoulder to the side, shrinking into herself, apologizing with her body for taking up too much room when passing by people that have earned less and are less brilliant than she is, but more male. 
She does not have an easy laugh, she does not meet the eyes of everyone around her and make sure they feel at ease.
She does not run 10ks for charity causes.
How did she earn it? How did she get it? Where does it come from?
