Throughout my time at Bucknell so far, I have found myself resistant to participate and answer questions in many of my classes. Most of the time, I tend to have the correct answer, however, the possible chance that my answer is incorrect holds me back from raising my hand. I have struggled to participate in my classes due to my fear of being incorrect and judged by my professor and fellow peers. It is interesting as my personality is completely different outside of the classroom. When I am in with my friends and family, I find that I am extremely outgoing and talkative. However, in a classroom setting, I find that I am more reserved due to this fear. I hope that this semester, I will be able to overcome this fear and participate more in class. As this course is based more on creativity than accuracy, I hope to become more comfortable sharing my ideas.
