Let me describe a time I overcame a fear or challenge. The story happened at school around two years ago. The minister visited our school and came to our class. At the time, he asked who could speak English. He was a very good teacher and minister. He had a lot of experience related to English. No one was good at English in our class. Everyone kept silent, but I raised my hand. On the stage, I talked about lots of English singers, and the minister's face was shocked. At that time, no one helped me; I was on my own. The first step I took was to raise my hand. After I spoke, or after the minister left our school, I was praised by the owner of the school. To be exact, the minister gave me monetary prizes and a medal. At that time, I felt very satisfied and felt freedom.
