In this seminar, my performance was not very good. Compared to those classmates who have quick thinking and unique insights, I appear relatively ordinary. However, compared to the silence of the previous seminar, I took an important step – for the first time, I shared my views in front of everyone. For a moment, the thought of “not wanting to share anymore, it’s so embarrassing” surged in my heart.
However, I know that true growth often comes with challenges and breakthroughs. Even if my performance is not perfect, at least I dare to try. This feeling of breaking through oneself is actually more precious than any external recognition. It made me realize that everyone has the potential to surpass themselves and become a better version of themselves.
Reflecting on this experience, I realized the reason why I appeared hesitant when sharing viewpoints. Firstly, on the day before the seminar, I took a leave of absence for some reason and didn’t know how to prepare in advance. This resulted in my insufficient understanding of the topics discussed at the seminar, lack of knowledge reserves, and difficulty in confidently expressing my views. Secondly, speaking in front of everyone is actually quite difficult for me. I am afraid that my speech may not be accurate enough and I am afraid of being refuted by others. This fear makes it difficult for me to express myself confidently when sharing.
It is these shortcomings that have made me more aware of my growth direction. I understand that in order to perform better in future seminars, I need to prepare in advance and conduct in-depth research and reflection on the topics being discussed. If I encounter the situation of taking leave again, I will ask the teacher and classmates or check the MB. At the same time, I also need to learn to overcome my inner fears, enhance my confidence, and be willing to express my opinions in front of others.
Overall, although this seminar made me feel awkward and uneasy, it also showed me my progress and growth. I hope to perform better in the next seminar.
This is a good read! It is really reassuring to read how you felt about making this big step.
Good work, and good luck in the next seminar! Let’s hope you can continue to build on this success.
