B篇My Growing Up Story

When I was 10, I was shy. I never raised my hand in class, even if I knew the answer. I was scared of being wrong.

One day, my mom signed me up for a speech contest. I cried and said, “I can’t do it!” But she said, “You’ll never know unless you try.”

I practiced every night. I wrote a speech about my dog, Max, and practiced in front of the mirror. On the day of the contest, my hands shook, but when I started talking about Max, I forgot to be scared. I even smiled!

I didn’t win, but when I sat down, my teacher said, “That was brave.” That day, I learned growing up means facing your fears—even if you don’t “win.” Now, I raise my hand in class, and I’ve joined the school’s drama club.
