My name is Nazaret, I go to BOTY and I can relate to this so much. I am very shy during class and I hate being put on the spot by teachers. Usually I do know what to say and what my thoughts are, but the nerves just get to me and I can’t fully express myself. I prefer to be observant on what my peers say and listen to their thoughts and opinions. But I can’t seem to articulate my own unless I have to.
