My life has many situations to share. For example, there was a situation that made me feel excited. Last year, I had 18 classes, and the teacher invited me to present a proposal in front of the classroom. I thought it was exciting, but I didn't understand why people had accents and enjoyed listening to me. When I presented, I had their attention and focus, so I prepared step by step for the entire time and topic. When I talked about the time limit, I presented to the audience and my friends, and I felt I could talk very well. The teacher told me I did a great job. I felt very proud and peaceful, and I proved something to myself. The key to improving in this situation was my teacher; she was supportive and prioritized the situation very well. I love her. She helped me overcome my fear and gain confidence in my abilities.
