The Adventures of Sherrie and Chubbie Life Series: Self-Esteem: 1

In this classic tale, Sherrie finds herself doubting her intelligence because of fear and over-the-top expectations. Education and learning have always been fun, but in this moment, they have become a stance for equality and opportunity. Sherrie has the chance to represent her race as the first black gifted student, opening a door once shut to thousands... but is she gifted or just a blessed token? All her life, she felt gifted because of her connection to God, but now she is being challenged with the thought that she is on a whole other level, outshining her peers academically.Though operating at a higher level is not new to her, being gifted is a new thought, as she has always seen herself as smart, like my parents. Now she is being told she may be gifted... Is she gifted, and if so, can she walk in it unapologetically, whether people feel she is gifted or not? Can she be a glowing example for other little girls (especially black)? Or can she bear to just be smart rather than gifted... Can she still love herself with the same magnitude of love she had from day one? Or is this a new beginning?
