I still remember the first time I had to speak in front of my class for MUET. The topic was about studying abroad, and I struggled a lot. My mind went completely blank, my pronunciation was messy, and I had no idea what to say. I could feel my hands shaking and my confidence dropping with every word.
That moment became a turning point because it was when Madam Jessie started guiding me.
She didn’t just focus on correcting my grammar or pronunciation. She taught me how to structure my points, how to prepare quickly, and most importantly, how to be confident in myself. She always reminded me, “It’s okay to make mistakes, as long as you try and learn from them.”
From that day on, I started to improve. I followed her advice, read more to gain ideas, and practiced speaking in front of my classmates and even at home. Slowly, I became more comfortable with expressing my thoughts in English.
Thanks to Madam Jessie’s patience and support, I am no longer afraid to speak in front of others. I now speak with more clarity and belief. I still have room to grow, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come.
Sometimes, it just takes one person to change your journey and for me, that person is Madam Jessie.
