Memories from childhood
Emphasize how much I’ve grown.
Totally shy and insecure
As a little girl in school,
Making the clear choice:
Overcome my fear of people.
Reticent and shy no more;
Professional working in public
Holding my head up with pride
Open to new possibilities
Smiling to be part of a group.
I’ve changed and grown so much.
Success come with change.

A beautiful poem of self-affirmation…
Fabulous. It took me forever to get rid of the shyness, and I only got rid of most of it, not all.
An inspiring piece of work, Teresa.
I’m not the only one walking down Memory Lane today!
Its like being let out of prison I think. A whole new world opens up and so many possibilities. Great poem.

I’m glad you have overcome that fear of people.
It’s hard to overcome shyness. But it’s so worth the effort. Beautiful, Teresa. And the monarch shot is stunning.
