participate more in class.

I’m making progress.

I’m no longer one of the silent students in my non-lecture-style classes.

I give my opinions occasionally, and I feel encouraged by the professor/classmates each time, even when nothing profound’s been said.

I’m not ever going to be the best participator in any class, I don’t think. I’m a quiet person around people I don’t know, and I always gave been. I’m making my peace with that.
