Too shy to speakHow literacy changed me
Baby Steps Step One
Baby and Adolescent years
Baby and Adolescent yearsI was always crying if my mom
wasn’t around because I could never be comfortable around other people
Elementary SchoolI didn’t have many friends because
I thought no one liked me… when really I was too shy to open up
Baby StepsStep two
Teen YearsJunior High School
Social life became harder to deal with
More pressure to fit in and make friends
I became much more aware of how shy I really was
By the end of junior high school…nothing changed
More Teen Years
High School
Freshman Year at Brockton High School
1000+ more students + being shy=
MISERY!

Mrs. NelsonOur first assignment
Write an autobiography about yourself an present it to the class
YIKES!!!!!!
The BIG dayI made sure I was the last to
present. I was extremely nervous!
My hands were shaking an I was a wreck!
I took a deep breath and completed my presentation
SUCCESS!!!!!!Although that presentation alone
didn’t immediately change me but it was the beginning of the new me!
With each and every assignment I began to be more open and social in the classroom as well as outside the class
I no longer wasToo shy to speak
