제가 영어를 잘하지못하지만 고등학생자녀분의 생각이 경외롭다생각해 조금이나마 도움이 되었으면 하고 작문해봤습니다. 최대한 쓴것을 살리려고 노력했는데 바꾸면 좋을것같으면 바꿔서 작문했습니다. 만약 왜 그렇게 바꾸었는지 궁금하면 [email protected] 으로 물어봐달라고 전해주세요. 세세히 적으려니 너무 시간이 오래걸릴것같아서요..

I’ll talk about my feelings after watching one TED video named ’Listening to shame’. This video tells us to confront ' shame ' instead avoiding it, but it is very tempting to avoid it because if you avoid it, you will not be hurt.
The video made me look back my life in the past. (pause) In the beginning of this video, they argue that it is quite dangerous thinking if you consider vulnerability as a weakness. I was surprised when I saw the scene because I once thought vulnerability was a weakness. And because I thought so, I used not to show my vulnerability to others. I tried to make sure everything was perfect, and I always wanted to look strong. (pause) I felt like I was wearing heavy iron armor. (pause) That was the way I avoided my vulnerability. It protected me, but it made me tired. (pause) I just decided not to be perfect.
Then, I felt relaxed and comfortable whatever I did something because I exposed my vulnerability without hiding it. (pause) Vulnerability and 'shame' are what I am not proud of myself. How can I hide myself and avoid myself?
When I am with them, it will be very helpful when I enter the stadium, called 'life' (pause) I could have this speaking contest right now because I confronted 'shame'. Before I entered the stadium, which is this speaking contest, I told myself it is okay to make mistake, and who is afraid to make mistake, which is me, is having this presentation with my 'shame'. I realized that loving myself was the way to confront 'shame'. Thank you for your attention.
