I’ve had my fair share of embarrassing moments, but I can usually chalk it up to being kind of a klutz. But today I had a different kind of embarrassing moment. I raised my hand to give an answer in Ms. Rodriguez’s class—and I was totally wrong! How embarrassing! I could feel my face turn red, and I’m pretty sure Ms. R noticed because she asked me to stay a few minutes after class. She explained that giving a wrong answer in class is nothing to be embarrassed about. It happens. She said she would much rather have someone raise her hand and give the wrong answer than not raise her hand at all. She said it’s all about confidence. I still felt pretty bad, though.
Confidence—that’s something I really want to work on this year at school. I know I do well on tests and essays and things like that, but I’m always hesitant to share my work with other kids. Sometimes, Ms. Rodriguez and my other teachers ask us to get up in front of the class to share something we’ve written. I always feel queasy before something like that—not only because I’m a total klutz, but I always think, what if people think my work is dumb? I know Anna and Joline—the reigning Queens of Mean—will snicker no matter what I do, but it always feels like a leap of faith when I share my work with others. I'll just have to practice taking that leap, won't I? Especially if I want to be a writer.
You Tell Us ...
Do you feel confident enough to raise your hand or get up in front of the class to share your work?
I'm confident enough to answer in class. In fact, teachers often get fed up when they realize that I'm one of the only people in the class willing to answer.
Dont be afraid of anna and jo char!!!!!! they dont really care about u so u shudn't really care about wat they say about u cuz u dont hang out with them!
i don't really mind much.....but when i get answers wrong it's kind of embarrasing. the trick is to get to know your classmates as friends and usually if you make a mistake, they won't make fun of you. works for me!
i never have cofidence but when everybody has to go up and share their work i read or share it really quickly becuz i hate being the center of attetion at school
WHHOOO!! No ONE can be better than me ! I am unbeatable I am unstoppable . i AM thE BEST !!! I am Better than all of YOU . Why 'cause I am MEEEE !!OH MEEE!( wht the - wow!) yeah I know - whateves. can I at least pretend ??
i haven't talked to you either in quite some time! that's because we don't have internet access in denmark (only in the library), so i could only get online about once a week for the last 8 weeks. we arrived from denmark this morning, as school starts again next monday (september 1st). i hope you had nice holidays!
Sometimes, it depends on if I think my work is sharable. Because I don't want to be laughed at or anything. I will share my work if no one else raises their hands though.

Yes, most of the time I feel 100% confident to raise my hand in school. But then comes math, I'm not the best, I dont always feel confident enough to raise my hand in math. Click the heart if you dont feel confident sometimes. THANKS!!!!!
It's ok to be scared somtimes everybody is,even the queens of mean and most of the time there are just as scared as you are. So don't get intimadated you just have to work on your confidence.

Your friend,I feel everyone needs to get up and share you shouldn't be afraid to shine cause if you are that gives other kids the chance to make fun of you.
Thanks, Kays Kool

i am so so confident that i am stuck up. cuz i am not stuck up
well i do care wat ppl think but i still very confident. i always love sharing my thought and work with ppl.
WHY ARENT WE NATURALLY CONFIDENT??? BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WILL THINK???????
WRONG ATTITUDE! WE SHOULD JUST BE COMFORTABLE BEING OURSELVES.DO U THINK URE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE? WELL U R BELIEVE IN URESELF!
BEE COOL AND CONFIDENT!!!
purple.pengy: all you have to do is be yourself to be confident. when your being yourself the only thing that comes out is you being confident.
P.S You shouldnt worry what anybodyelse thinks of you. what matters is what you think of yourself
