When I was a baby, I was frightened when my neighbor shouted loudly, so in my childhood I felt embarrassed when I communicated with strangers. After entering my university, I was eager to change. I accidentally joined a club. The club was about making web sites and since I was good at writing articles, I was invited to join them. Most of the club members were students in my college and they helped me a lot for they were my seniors. We got along with each other very well. I also finished the tasks assigned to me quickly and well. During the process of working on my assignments, I had to chat with strangers like students in other colleges or teachers to write a report. After two years, they told me one day: "You will be the next chairman.” After they announced the news during a meeting, I had to address all the members. At first, I felt very embarrassed. I looked at my friends. They encouraged me with warm smiles and louder applause. I remembered all my experience from talking with strangers, so I felt a little confident for the first time in my life. I talked about what I had done for the club and what I planned to do. I asked for their support and they answered me with applause. During that meeting, we elected other members of the executive committee and I assigned them what we needed to do next week. I paid more attention to team spirit because I was the club leader. I had to improve myself and I succeeded. This experience led to a great change in my life and it was pretty much a milestone in my life. I have become more confident since then and now I am even planning to start my own food factory.
