Too shy to speakHow literacy changed me
Baby Steps Step One
Baby and Adolescent years
Baby and Adolescent yearsI was always crying if my mom
wasn’t around because I could never be comfortable around other people
Elementary SchoolI didn’t have many friends because
I thought no one liked me… when really I was too shy to open up
Baby StepsStep two
Teen YearsJunior High School
Social life became harder to deal with
More pressure to fit in and make friends
I became much more aware of how shy I really was
By the end of junior high school…nothing changed
