My greatest accomplishment would have to be coming out of my excessive shy stage. When I was in seventh grade, I used to be so shy; I would get speechless whenever I had to speak out loud in front of large audiences. Coming out of my glossophobia stage was hard, but it gave me dignity.
I can recall one incident when I had to present my eukaryotic cell display in seventh grade to the entire class. When I walked up in front of the classroom and all eyes were on me, my heart began racing while my palms got all sweaty. I stood there like a statue for at least ten minutes before my teacher; Ms.Walls asked if I were okay. I shook my head nervously with a look of fear in my eyes; and at that very moment, she had decided to send up one of my friends to help me present my display. This incident has traumatized me for such a long time. Once I started eighth grade, I made a decision that it was time for me to stop being so glossophobic.
The accomplishment of coming out of my intense shy stage makes me proud because through that experience I gained dignity, and with that dignity I also gained self ï confidence. This accomplishment relates to the person that I am because now I have a personality that is outgoing. I am loquacious and interactive with others around me. Due to this accomplishment, I can now speak in front of large crowds without any restraints.
One word that describes me best and captures my most important personal quality would have to be the word humble. I know that no matter how talented I am there is almost always someone who can do something better than I can. I look at those who are better than I am in something to remind myself that I am not the best, while still considering improvements I need to make. I accept compliments and insults in a mature way; I work hard to help others, because I want to, not to receive praise. I have learned through this accomplishment how to accept myself and my talents without feeling insecure that I need to boast about them.
