上週的繪本課裡，當老師不斷問大家有否要分享的作品，我遲遲拿不出來，心裡勇敢和懦弱不斷交戰著，最後我安靜若無其事地走回位置上。
In the picture-book class last week, the teacher kept asking if we had any work to share with one another. Even so, my cowardice held me back, finally blowing away the last whiff of courage I had. In the end, I walked back to my seat quietly without saying or showing anything.
那天的課堂上，遇見認識好多年的Ada，下課之前她對我說不要害怕，她的鼓勵推了我一把，果然，老師和同學給了我許多回饋，之後我的生活看似相同，但其實一切都不一樣了。
That day in class I happened to run into Ada, a friend I'd met years ago. Before leaving, she told me not to be afraid. Her words of encouragement made me take a huge leap. As she had predicted, I got so much helpful feedback after showing the work to the teacher and classmates. After that day, though my life appears to be the same on the outside, it has, in fact, become very different.
