I was very shy when I was little. One day in class, my teacher asked me a . I didn’t know the answer to it. Then I said something that sounded very to my classmates. They all laughed. From that day on, I always to be quiet in class.
When I was thirteen years old, my family moved to a city, so I went to a new school. On the first day, my dad and I our house late. When I arrived at the school, the class had begun. I walked in and found the entire class was me. This frightened me. For the next couple of classes I just sat .
Mrs Smith, a kind-hearted teacher in my new class, noticed I was quiet. She decided to me. The next day in her class, she handed out a piece of to everyone. What I saw on the paper made my heart beat ; it was an activity where you had to people if they had or did any of those things listed on the paper. This meant that I had to talk to those strangers I wanted to finish it. At first, I just stood there not what to do, but then I thought, “What if I actually tried to to people? Then maybe I would make some at this school.” I encouraged myself and finally talking with other students. Sure enough, those “strangers” turned out to be really and helpful. They invited me to with them after class. These people are my friends today. We often hang out together.
If you’re just like I used to be, don’t be afraid to talk to others. They can be very nice and may become your friends.
