Do It For the Glory.....

coming from a family of very talented and accomplished artists, humility was one of the most important characteristics that everyone enforced in my life. my father is a well known musician that could have a record deal in a second but instead he works on his motorcycles all day and plays gigs all night. my grandmother raised four kids as a single mother and full time teacher, while being a talented painter. but when you asked her, she just did what she loved. i have followed in their footsteps and simply do what i love to do with the people i couldn’t live without. sure i’ve overcome some amazing feats for someone my age, but to me it’s just the life i have been blessed to live. 

the reason why i bring this up is because in an application for a job i am asked to write about myself and my accomplishments. my mother would tell me to brag, but i’ve never been good at that. i’ve never been good at seeing the importance of my work or showing off anything that i have. how do i walk on that thin line between too humble and cocky?  how do i convince them that i am capable to work for them without sounding like a douche-bag?
