Attending class is important.

In class, I receive the direction and guidance I need to be successful

one day. By attending every class, I will not miss important materials; I will also think more
clearly about course topics and be better prepared, but participating in class is a struggle for me
with social anxiety. It is hard for me as a shy person; I don’t express my opinions, and I don’t
participate voluntarily because I am too afraid of making a mistake and being laughed at.
Teachers sometimes mark their students down because of their passive behavior. I remember
when I had a teacher who asked me a question, and when I didn't answer correctly, I was
humiliated, and since then I have been afraid to answer again, even though I knew the answer.
