I think that I may have an ego problem. On Tuesday night, I got called on in Constitutional Law.  This is something which terrifies, but I was prepared and wanted to do well.  Unfortunately, I was also nervous. I stumbled some and the professor started going down the row to my left.  I felt bad that other students got put on the hot seat because of my fumble. However, I was also determined to figure out the correct answer.  This feeling also intensified when I realized that folks who talk ALL THE TIME and GET ON MY NERVES were gearing up to give the correct answer.  As they started raising their hands, I would immediately raise mine and just say something, anything that sounded confident.  It was also the first time ALL YEAR that the professor recognized my hand and eventually I got one right answer.  A few folks told me that I did a good job after class.

Even though I was terrified, I felt good to stand and deliver.  Even though the annoying people did get a few responses in, I was glad that my voice was loud and strong in the discussion. 

Hmmm... maybe there is hope for my talking more in class.
