     I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn't like attention drawn to myself.
And   1    otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always    2    to sit at the back of the
classroom.
     All this   3   after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball
team. At first I thought it was a crazy  4   because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor did I have
the  5   to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept
insisting on my "   6     for  it", I wouldn't have decided to give a try.
     Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the    7   of it! When I first started   8    the
practice sessions, I didn't even know the rules of the game, much    9  what I was doing. Sometimes I'd
get   10   and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid.  11  , I wasn't the only
one "new" at the game, so I decided to   12   on learning the game, do my best at each practice session,
and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't    13   "just yet".
     I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the   14   and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and
motivating. Very soon the competitive   15    in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I
learned how to play and made friends in the   16    - friends who respected my efforts to work hard and
be a team player. I never had so much fun!
     With my   17  self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from
  "18"   in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,   19   raising my
hand- even when I sometimes wasn't and not 100 percent   20   I had the right answer. Now I have
more self-confidence in myself.
