She stood there in front of the class ready to recite a poem she wrote.
One that was her favorite and she hoped they enjoyed it.
She took a deep breath and stated to read the poem out loud.
she could feel her voice shaking but she continued on.
And once she finished everyone clapped and the teacher asked her some questions then she sat down.
she finally let out a breath as the next person got up and talked about their self.
