On the first day of the fishbowl, I did not participate. I was super scared and terrified. I wanted to see how it went before I go in but since that was a practice round. I did not want to look like a fool, not knowing what to do. The second day was a whole different story. I was one of the first group of people that started the conversation.

I wouldn't be a good clear, purposeful talker because I tend to get my ideas confused. I always get mixed with my words so the things I say do not match the things in my head. That's the weakness of it. A strength in this area would be that I wouldn't be so shy! I would be talking all the time and I guess, teachers like
