with me where this lack ofconfidence may come from and how we can help these children(and adults)regain confidence and become achievers.This is notan easy task,as it involves many potential factors driving theproblem of underachievement.Is lack of confidence innate or isit a learned behavior?Does it develop out of lack of experienceor maturity?Perhaps cultural influence,development of poorstudy habits,or lack of parental involvement are contributingfactors in some cases.I will address these questions based on myexperience as an underachiever.  \nRecently as I researched the world of the underachiever—uncertain career choices,how little we know about ourselves,and what drives us to do or not to do certain things—it becameclear that self-awareness and mindfulness are vital thoughtprocesses lacking in our daily lives.This is especially true whenwe are young;we think we know ourselves when we do not.Itis easy for the underachiever to get caught up in a flawed beliefsystem,usually through no fault of his or her own.It generallyemerges from an early childhood interpretation of family valuesand our environment.  \nI approach this subject from my experience as anunderachiever to help parents understand why it is important toaddress issues that you see developing in your child,whetherit be in school,in the home,or in social settings.Within thesepages,I share my story of transformation from underachiever toachiever and share my insight into the contributing factors forboth.I also express my ideas on the education system and thecomplexity of teaching such a diverse population as we have inthe United States.  \nAlthough I did not work with underachievers in aneducational system,I worked in a human resource settingwhich had overachievers,achievers,and underachievers.I havewitnessed the effect that unaddressed underachievement can haveon a young adult.It is important to address
