Personal Narrative: Nia Needs To Talk In Class
“Nia needs to talk more in class.” “I only wished Nia would contribute more to the discussion.” “I know Nia has great things to say, I just wish she would share them with her peers.”
These are all things teachers have written about me in progress reports over the last four years of my time at Hopkins. In the majority of my comments, teachers mention that I do not talk a lot in. And they are right, especially in my younger years, I would rarely speak in class. In 8th grade, after getting my grades and comments, my advisor and parents strongly urged me to speak more in class.
I made it my goal, therefore, in January of 8th grade to speak once in every class for the rest of the year. I did not make this goal, not even close. I try every day
