A Time I was Underestimated

“You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.” – Michelle Obama

Write about a time you were underestimated. Why do you think that person (or people) had that impression of you? How did it affect you? Did you get motivated by it or did it put you in a slump?

Alternatively: Write about a time you underestimated someone and they surprised you. How did this affect your relationship?
