I used to be the shyest person in the world. I hid behind my elder sister whenever I had to speak to a. When I was asked to speak in class, I could hardly breathe. Eventhe few friends I had, my low, timid (怯怯的) voice earned me jokes—about being a girl.
Then in the seventh grade, my sister suggested I attend voice lessons and I followed her advice. After a few exercise, I finally got confidence and courage in my voice.
Then one day I was asked to sing for some old people.of the voice lessons, I thought I would do better than before. I opened my mouth and—nothing. I couldn't remember the! My face turned hot. The kind gave me a prompt (提示), and I remembered just enough to keep singing.
Then the thought struck me: I've already embarrassed myself enough. There's really nothing else to lose. So in my second song, I just relaxed and felt the energy of the song lift me. And I did much.
After that, I started singing toas loudly as I could in my own room. That's something I would never havebefore. One classmate even said that I should be in the school's talent show.
Singing has made me more outgoing. Today, I can also stand in front of the whole class and give a big speech. I amof myself. I am no more a shy person.
