Stella’s Eidetic Memory

Stella is known to have a long-term eidetic memory. She found out she had this ability when she reached her final year as an elementary school. She would always ace her Spelling Tests and it wasn’t because she studied, which she barely did. Nor was she just plain smart, because she certainly wasn’t at the time. It was her extraordinary memory. No one knew she had this ability. Not even herself. When she was in the 5th grade, she was asked to join the Spelling Bee, because she had the most A’s on her Spelling Tests. The teacher and her classmates didn’t believe she could do it. One of her classmates even asked, if she would prefer someone else to do it. To prove them wrong, Stella took the stage with confidence and became the champion.

However, that was short-lived. As years went by, she unknowingly began to lose her confidence and ended up being self-conscious. In class, she a good listener, but she also easily distracted. In terms of Stella’s general speech communication skills in professional and personal situations, she can be quite lively and silly when she’s around her family and close friends. On a professional note, she would end up losing all her confidence and get cold-feet. Her ability does her no good, when she’s too overwhelmed by a large crowd. Alongside her anxiety and her ability, her presentations would often become too detailed, because she would worry whether or not it was perfect and she would occasionally stutter.

Stella knows she needs believe in herself and learn to control her ability while doing her presentations, because memory is her key talent!
