You can do it razzaq! I know you can. If only you give it a shot.I am sure you will do good.
This is what my favorite teacher Amulya ma’am told me during my 11th class.
This was when a student was noting down names of students who were interested in taking part in an elocution competition.And I did not give my name though a part of me wanted to.
I was a very shy and quiet person back then and never participated in any extra curricular activities except quizzes. But I was good in English and used to always score the highest in it. Also I used to read a lot of books.We had this competition called ‘Best Reader’ organised by our Library Dept and I had won the first prize in the last two years. But in spite of all this I was scared of going on the stage to deliver a speech even though I always wanted to. I was not confident. All I needed was a push.
This came in the above words of Amulya Ma’am. She used to (and still does) teach English in our school. Though she never taught me I liked her immensely! She was one of my favourite teachers. I suppose she knew about my lack of confidence and told me to go ahead and participate. She told me exactly what I wanted to hear. That I can do it and do it well.
I went ahead and participated in the competition and eventually won the first prize. This proved to be a huge confidence booster for me. I went on to give a lot of speeches on other occasions in school as well as later in college and job life.
All thanks to Amulya Ma’am!
