Self- Esteem Personal Assessment and Reflection Paper
After completing the self-assessment, I received a score of 12 out of 30, which places me
in the category of low self-esteem. This result was not surprising to me, as I have been told by

seeing this low score made me realize just how much those observations hold true. It’s a constant
struggle for me to feel secure in my abilities, even though I know I’ve had successes. This
assessment was not just a reflection of where I am now, but also a reminder of how much work I
