My name is Su Xiao. I want to share you with my story of growing up.
To be an outgoing person, you should be brave to have a change. At the beginning of 7th grade, I was too shy to communicate with my classmates. And I was afraid to ask my teachers for help when meeting troubles. As a result of it, I felt so bad about my school life.
After a month, I decided to change myself. I gathered my courage to talk with my deskmate, we soon became good friends. Little by little, I'm no longer shy. Now, I even can give a speech in front of others.
Growing up is not always full of pains. Luckily, we can get something unexpected. Everyone will shine in their own way some day.
