Polished transcript:

Male Female

I was a really shy kid, and I didn't communicate with other people a lot, which affected my life significantly. I didn't have many friends, and I just couldn't have a conversation with people I didn't know. For instance, I couldn't even say if I wanted to pay with cash or card to the cashier. The fear I had the most was speaking in front of the class. I was afraid of the embarrassment I would feel afterward. I overcame it because my best friend encouraged me to give speeches in front of at least 10 people, and it helped me a lot. Now I feel more free. I can have conversations with strangers now, at least, and I'm really grateful for my best friend.
