Question

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And1assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always2to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 3after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy4because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the5to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. Without the teacher who kept insisting on my “6for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the7of it! When I first started8the practice sessions (練習(xí)賽), I didn’t9know the rules of the game, not to mention what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get10and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.11, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to12on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t13“just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the14and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive15in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process (過(guò)程)— friends who respected my16to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my17self-confidence comes more praise (贊揚(yáng)) from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “18”in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 19raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent20I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
