A time for change

I have been thinking a lot about the way I treat myself lately. In my life I have always struggled with getting people to take me seriously. I always thought that maybe when I graduated high school I would be taken seriously, or when I got married, or when I graduated from college. Now I've done all of that and still feel like a kid. Ive tried dressing older, carrying a bigger purse and wearing more makeup but I am constantly treated like or mistaken for a 16 year old. This becomes more and more scary for me as I am looking to start my career. A career where I constantly on display and judged be people older and, sometimes, wiser than myself. I guess I need I figure out how to make others see me as an adult an a serious teacher. Time for change.
