I succeeded
3 years ago
I used to be really tongue-tied. A couple of years ago I was quite shy and almost incapable of small-talk. I think I have improved a lot during the past two years. Nowadays I can easily chit-chat with all my fellow students who happen to pass me by at the campus. I smile and make eye contact with more people than I used to and generally I’m more self-confident now.
I think being in the army helped me a lot with achieving this goal. I was trained to be a squad leader, so I had to give a lot of orders and be an example for others. I also had to live and get along with different kinds of people, whom I barely knew at all. That helped me a lot.
