School is not for be shy

The experience is something very useful in order to succeed in school. The experience that the people acquire during their school years is very wide, and it is related with the relationships between us and our friends, colleages, teachers, people working in school and parents. I think that one of the most important relationships that gives us experience and leaves a mark in our minds, is the one we have with our teachers and classmates/friends in the classroom. For some people, the classroom is a place where they can learn in a very dynamic and enriching way, interacting talking, asking and explaining all they want. For many other students, like me, to do aloud all the activities I mentioned, is also beneficial for an integral development, but at the same time is difficult to carry out because of the shyness and fear of what the others could think. In other words, talking and asking out loud when it is necessary in order to have our doubts solved and to be an active and participative person in classes is strengthening, but also could be overwhelming.

As soon as I entered the school, I noticed that in order to get good grades, it is needed to ask teachers when you have some doubts and to participate making some comments. It is also important to mention that since I can remember, I have been a person who likes to study and read, but I was very shy to say what I was thinking and to make some questions when I had not understood something. One day, when I was in secondary school, the Physics teacher made some questions and said that the first person to answer them wouldn’t have to do some exams. I knew immediately the answer, but in a very foolish way I did not say it; later, another person solve the questions, and I had to do a very difficult exam. Another day, now in my school faculty, my teacher of physics decided to make me do the final exam just because I did not dare to participate I class. I did not participate because I didn’t want to say silly things, but then I realized that even if a person says only silly things, he was happy with that and gave him/her good notes. Finally, as all the other students that solved the same exam, I failed and I had to retake the course.

 
Thanks to the experiences I have lived, as the ones I mentioned above (and some other ones), I learned that if a person is daring and he or she is not shy, has more possibilities to be successful in school and in the life. Now, despite it is still a little difficult for me, I am overcoming my problem, and the classes are more productive for me.
