3b. The one person from my junior high school days that I will never forget is Mrs. Wang, my English teacher in Grade 7.
When I first started Grade 7, I was shy and did not dare to speak to anyone. My English was not very good and I felt nervous when I had to answer questions in class. I would have problems speaking even though I knew the answer. I felt quite unhappy with myself.
One day, Mrs. Wang spoke to me after class. She encouraged me to speak slowly. She also told me that she believed I could speak well if I practice more. I was touched by what she said and it made me work harder on my speaking skills.
Mrs. Wang continued to encourage me and I became even more confident. I improved so much that I won an English speech contest that year! I will always be grateful to Mrs. Wang for her advice and support.
