C

I used to be a shy boy and I didn't like others to notice me. I chose to sit quietly at the back of the classroom. I listened carefully but I never answered teachers' questions.
After I joined the basketball club, everything changed. At first, I thought it was a crazy(疯狂的) idea because I didn't have the ability to keep up with the others in the club and they would laugh at me. But my teacher kept asking me to go for it. Finally, I agreed and decided to give it a try.
Taking the courage to try was only the half of it! When I first started having the practice courses, I didn't even know the rules of the game. That made me feel really stupid (愚蠢的). Luckily, I wasn't the only one new at the game, so I decided to learn the game, try my best, and not to find any excuses.
I practised a lot. Soon I knew much about the rules of basketball and learned how to move from the coach(教练). Being part of a team was so exciting. Very soon I had some competitive skills (竞技技能) though I didn't have much confidence. As time passed by, I learned how to play basketball and how to work together.
I have changed a lot since then. In class, I often raise my hand to answer teachers' questions. I get much praise from my teachers and classmates. Now I have more confidence in myself!
