Cindy here Cindy there
October 12, 2010 by Cindy Yin
Post-monologue, I view myself as nervous and fidgety. I’m normally the one who doesn’t participate in class because I really am shy on the inside and I have issues with stage frights. I can almost see my hands shaking while holding the paper in front of the class. However, that has all changed. I took a deep breath when it was my turn and I was surprised that my hands didn’t shake. In fact, some people found some parts of my monologue funny and that helped cut off almost all the tension in my body. I didn’t speed up and took time to correct myself when I pronounced a word wrong. Believe me, that’s not something I can do all the time. And that’s what leads to how I developed during freshman seminar. When freshman seminar began, I was downright shy and couldn’t keep eye contact with anyone. Katherine was different though. She was very bubbly and wanted everyone to get to know each other. We had ice breakers and made many jokes during class. I think her hard effort really paid off. I can pretty much talk to anyone in LC13 just fine now. I can now participate at least once during class. I didn’t even run away when it was my turn to read my monologue. It isn’t just me too. The whole class mingles really well and I honestly think we’re the best out there.

A bit odd. All smiles. Bright. Giggles. All the optimist. Sunny.
