I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless otherwise assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the 1 of the classroom.
All this 2 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 3 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 4 in keeping pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 5 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 6 of it! When I first started attending the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 7 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 8 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 9 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 10 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and 11 . Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of 12 . With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process. I never had so much fun!
With my 13 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from " 14 " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,to raising my hand
