Topic: Overcoming Shyness

I overcame my shyness. I used to be shy to talk to other people.  Recently, my friend wanted me to ask her mom if she can go to the movies, and I was too shy to ask at first. Then I thought, “the worst she can say is no”.  So I asked her politely.  And she said, yes. And she told me she really likes me for being so respectful.

I like to come to kung fu now because it’s fun and shows me a lot. I like my teachers because they encourage me a lot. And teach me a lot. I learned that there’s nothing to be shy about. I never thought I can do the things that I do now.
