This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my   31    , and I had been afraid to do so for a long time.
Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready,   32  ?”
“ Yes.” I answered quietly.    33  in fact I wasn’t ready!
On my way    34   school, I could feel my heart beating. I hated this!
I went into Mrs. Owens’ class. She was smiling, and saying   35  to all her students as she did every morning.
“ Hi, Sam,” she said to me as I walked    36  the classroom.
“ Hi,” I said and quickly sat in my   37  . I looked at the clock. The time was near. Then Mrs. Owens started, “ Sam, it’s time for you to show yourself.” “Show   38   ? Oh, no!”
I got up slowly,    39   the ground as I walked to the front of the class. Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs. Owens knew I was   40   , so she came beside me, and put her hand on my back.
She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his    41  ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam,    42   did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”
I thought about the fun things I    43  about surfing before, and I started to talk. I talked and talked    44  the whole class, and I was not nervous at all. It was great fun. It wasn’t frightening. The class cheered as I finished and Mrs. Owens was   45   .
In fact, I can do better than I think I can— if I try! I am proud of myself.
