I used to be unhappy about my looks, but now I like my smile because it makes me feel happy. I’ve learnt how to ski for the first time this year. That makes me feel proud. I used to be very shy, but over time I’ve learnt to start conversations comfortably. One reason for these changes is that I’ve started to believe in myself. I’ve learnt to accept that I don’t have to be perfect to be happy. Understanding myself means loving myself and growing up every day. So this is me—not perfect, but always growing to be better. That’s my story. Thank you for listening. Draft your speech Presenting skills How to make a speech better? Be polite. Be confident.
