Have you ever seen that one shy kid that you think is weird cause they never liked answering questions to the most simplest questions in class? If not, then have you ever been that one shy kid? well that was me. The weird, shy, awkward kid.
Ever since I was in elementary I was always in trouble. It wasn't even because I was doing something remotely wrong; but it was because I didn't do what I was told. Little did they know, I just simply didn't understand the concept of what the teachers were telling me. I was always just too shy to speak up and tell them why or what I didn't understand so teachers always gave up on me.
It wasn't till middle school when my younger cousin daisy came to live with us; did I understand to speak up and give my own opinions or answers to anyone that asked or if I was concerned with anything to raise my hand and to speak up. Since I saw the frighten little girl that in Daisy that i recognized in my self. It encouraged me to find my voice and speak up!FINALLY!
After years of being afraid of others, being afraid of being wrong, being scared of people hearing me out did i finally understood what was it that got people to not want to talk to me. I then instantly got more friends and people were beginning to recognize me. not only did the students recognize me. teachers as well noticed my outstanding improvement in school that I was nominated as most improved student. Ever since then, I was determined to ask any questions even if they were embarrassing.
I know exactly what you went through. I went through the same thing I never liked speaking my mind when I was younger because I was scared of being judged but I'm glad you overcame your fear and started speaking up.
ReplyDeleteim glad you finally had the courage to speak up. and by finally speaking up you know what you know and want to say. like what teachers always say there's never a stupid question!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know that you already conquered your fear. I'm a shy person too and I don't feel like talking in front of people, fearing the tendency of criticism from them makes me want to disappear in a snap!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that you overcame your fear, of being shy. It's good that you also improved in school. I had that problem as well when I was younger. Good job! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThe teachers were wrong to give up on you but you didn't give up. You got through it and kept going and that's what truly matters. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYOU GUYS ARE SO SWEET! xD
ReplyDeleteI could relate to that i was a shy kid as well, but i didn't really care what people said, is nice to know that you conquered your fear. Keep it up!
