I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself.And otherwise assigned a seat by the teacher, I always to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this after I joined a sports team.It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team.At first I thought it was a crazy because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me.But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the of it! When I first started the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much what I was doing.Sometimes I’d get and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not to be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced.Soon I knew the and the “moves”.Being part of a team was fun and motivating.Very soon the competitiv in me was winning over my lack of confidence.With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player.I never had so much fun!

With my self confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.I have gone from “ “in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent I had the right answer.Now I have more self confidence in myself.
