During Thanksgiving dinner, my mother made us say everything we were thankful for before we ate. It was agonizing. After going through that, Mr. McCarthy thought it would be cool for us to pick someone in our class who we are thankful for. How nice!
Many people have already said them but I am thankful for multiple people actually. Artem, Zach, Jack, Steve and Max. Anyone in my 5th period class knows that those five are the usual dicussion participants. By them going through their usual Q and A's and rebutals, class time goes by very quickly and surprisingly efficiently. As much as I appreciate the days that I don't feel very open and can get away with it because they will take up a lot of class time, most days hearing them going back and forth and them sharing their ideas really make me want to get involved and feel more confident that what I say in class will be taken well. I'm not the most opinionated or intellectual person so I keep my comments to a minimum, but everyday I try to break myself of that way of thinking. By hearing them share their ideas and thoughts, it makes me want to share my own just as much. Thanks guys!
I think its great that you want to voice your opinions more. I feel self-conscious at times to do the same thing and I want to improve on that as well.
