Opinion: Imposter syndrome occurs across campus

By Decker Westenburg
August 09, 2021 12:00 AM
I was 16 years old when I officially joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a lone member in a ward full of large families, I often felt aloof and struggled to feel like I truly belonged. I sat next to various families during sacrament meetings. I didn’t attend seminary, never attended a Family Home Evening, didn’t know the words to 'Popcorn Popping' and often avoided answering questions in Sunday School because of fears that I would answer incorrectly.
