My daughter is normally very shy and reluctant to be in front of crowds, but she has really been coming out of her shell lately. This time, her teacher encouraged her to enter a speech contest. I was very surprised and proud that she did it--just getting up in front of people is a huge challenge for her. Guess what? She won third place and brought home a bronze medal! WOW! A wonderful accomplishment for a shy girl! As I watched the speakers, I was proud of all of them for doing this--it isn't an easy thing for anyone to do! The winner had more experience--this was my daughter's first speech competition. The winner looked at the crowd when speaking--my daughter kept her eyes glued to her paper. But that doesn't matter--she can just practice the eye contact and try again next year! She still did very well to win third place! I am SO proud of her! :)
