Answer:
Being brave and embracing one's weakness.
Explanation:
In the story "Sweet, Difficult Sounds", Nothukula, who immigrated from Zimbabwe, felt like an outcast in her school and thought that no one would understand her accent and English.
She remained silent in her class and barely spoke to anyone as she felt insecure about her English. However, she learns to speak with confidence after her auntie teaches her how to speak in front of the class.
In this way, Nothukula could finally recite the poem in front of the whole class in her second attempt with confidence and clarity.
The main idea about "Sweet, Difficult Sounds" is to face your problems head on and to embrace one's weakness.
