Alan does not enjoy participating in school concerts or sports events as he is very shy. He feels as though he will look silly or do something silly. I am the same. I do not enjoy being on stage or taking part in sports events. I feel as though I am the person that will trip over my feet and everyone will laugh at me. I have taken part in our class plays. Everyone in the class had to participate. My teacher understood that I am very shy and she did not give me a part where I had to speak or sing by myself. I would like to become more confident and be able to participate in public events without feeling like an idiot.
