When I studied at 12th grade, I was a shy student, and I rarely open up to people. My teacher was frustrated about possibility of my collective activity in class. I thought that a good student just had to get high score on my test, doing all my homework, and don’t need to take extracurricular activities.
These of things affect my school life, my teacher recognized that, and he advised me to change into more confident person, and he recommended me the contest of Nguyen Thuong Hien prize where I had the opportunity to become an outgoing person.
I thought about what my teacher said to me when I came home, I really wanted to become an active person and submitted an application to the organizers of this contest. My teacher and friends helped me to transform from a shy person to an outgoing person. My teacher instructed me how to overcome the fears that I have to face the crowd and advised me to practice many times in front of my classmates. My classmates also gave me advice how to improve so that I could do better when I practiced with them. In the contest, I did my speech. My presentation talked about friendship. After I finished presentation its implementation, I was surprise when the judges announced that I won the contest. I was so glad I have overcome fear to complete my speech smoothly.
In conclusion, joining Nguyen Thuong Hien prize was a turning point made me into an adult’s person. The prize helps me recognize that I’m more confident than the past; I’m starting to look after everyone around me. When I believe in myself, I can do anything what I want. That’s why I decided to go to The United State to study after I graduated in my high school.
