After the activity, Xiaoqi went back and insisted on going for a run.
No slacking off.
This small speech contest made Xiaoqi a little alert. He felt that he was still not strong enough. It was just a small competition on campus, but he was so nervous that he had to pee and couldn't help running to the toilet.
This must be a psychological problem, because actually I can't urinate in the toilet.
I was just nervous, and I probably subconsciously thought that going to the bathroom would relieve my tension.
This problem must be overcome. There are many important moments in life, and compared to them, speeches on campus may be the most insignificant thing.
My mentality is still too fragile.
Xiao Qi was running, analyzing her condition. The cool night breeze made her a little more awake.
On the one hand, I want to go to the toilet when I am nervous. This is a bad habit I have had in the past. On the other hand, it is probably because I lack confidence in myself and I am afraid. What am I afraid of?
Think clearly, you are actually afraid of making a fool of yourself.
Before I even participated in the competition, I was already saying in the class group that I would win first place, and my roommates were also very confident in me.
But what if not?
When I arrived at the competition venue, I found that the school director Ms. Su was also there. The room was full of judges and students. I was afraid that I would make a fool of myself, give a bad speech, forget the words, and feel nervous and embarrassed.
This fear of making a fool of oneself in front of others is probably the root of nervousness.
When I was very young, I didn’t feel shy or embarrassed when I fell down while walking or said something wrong.
But as I grew up, I developed a sensitive sense of self-esteem.
It can be said that this kind of self-esteem is actually connected with inferiority complex.
The more self-esteem you have, the more inferiority you feel; the two emotions are one and the same.
For fear of making a fool of myself, I try to refuse to speak, refuse to stand out, refuse to stand out, and gradually become a recluse, thinking that this is safer.
In fact, I am slowly wasting my time.
Xiao Qi ran and felt that his problem was quite serious and needed to be overcome.
If you are always afraid, never move forward, and never take a step forward, you will always lag behind others.
But are you willing?
Unwilling.
We are both seventeen or eighteen years old. Why should we hide in the corner? We will definitely regret it in the future.
She slowly calmed down and decided to change herself.
Next time, even if you are nervous, you should not run to the toilet as soon as you get nervous and use the toilet as a space to escape.
It's useless.
After running, I went back to the dormitory to take a shower and clean up.
Then practice calligraphy to calm down.
Maybe it's because my mood is a little different, I feel a little stronger inside. I also feel different when practicing calligraphy today, I feel more stable and open-minded.
The next day, early in the morning, Xiaoqi was going to the city. The president of the calligraphy and painting society, Li Luanliang, had said that he would take her to participate in the calligraphy association's activities and make an appearance.
Xiaoqi was a little nervous at first, but after yesterday's speech contest, Xiaoqi prepared himself mentally and felt that participating in such activities was a way to exercise his courage. He couldn't stay in school all his life.
Because they were attending an event, they dressed up. Xiaoqi wore a black skirt and a beige sweater, which she and Mier bought at a small shop on Student Street after the speech.
Eighty dollars.
The quality seems good and is suitable for autumn in Mengshi.
Paired with white sneakers.
Very girly style.
The little black dress is more formal, but when paired with a sweater, it looks gentler, less serious, and not too casual.
Very clean.
He was carrying a schoolbag because Xiaoqi thought that since it was rare for him to go to the city, if he needed to buy something, he could put it in the schoolbag.
I also have the habit of bringing books with me when I go out so I can read when I have free time.
Make an appointment with the president to meet at the bridgehead of the school.
Xiaoqi thought they were going to take the bus together, but he didn't expect that the president also owned a car.
It's just an ordinary car, costing about 200,000 yuan, but it should be good enough for students.
Otherwise, Xiaoqi is a little worried that it would be inconvenient to squeeze into the bus wearing a skirt.
She sat in the back seat.
The car is quite clean inside and looks new. It is well-maintained and smells good. There is also a very cute doll in front of the passenger seat. Xiaoqi feels that the senior student should have a girlfriend. I wonder if she is the vice president.
Li Luanliang's eyes lit up when he saw his junior.
The first few times I saw her, she was dressed very casually, like a high school student, very small.
Although I think her handwriting is very good, I am still a little worried about letting her take over the Calligraphy and Painting Association. She looks too childish and I am always worried that she will not be able to control the situation.
But this time when I saw her, she was wearing a skirt and looked serious, and her aura was very strong. I inexplicably felt that she was different.
"Congratulations to the first place winner of the English Speech Contest."
Li Luanliang joked as soon as he got in the car.
These club presidents naturally follow the school’s official Douyin, and were quite surprised to see Su Xiaoqi. The girl is really outstanding.
You wouldn't have guessed he was such a top student.
"Thank you, President." Xiao Qi's face turned slightly red, but he still thanked him generously.
Humility is a virtue, but sometimes I feel that it’s also good for foreign teachers to be open and frank. They say whether they are happy or unhappy.
She is happy with other people's praise at this moment.
Make her a little less nervous.
She has been learning to drive recently and has touched the steering wheel. After getting in the car, she watched the president drive very carefully and memorized every step, including how to turn corners, overtake, brake, etc.
Li Luanliang could see his schoolmate staring at him from the rearview mirror. He felt a little uncomfortable and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm learning to drive." Xiao Qi said.
Li Luanliang took a while to digest it before he understood and laughed again.
"Most of the people in the calligraphy association are older, and there are relatively few women. You are probably the first one at your age, but don't be nervous. Just go and show yourself and see it. You can choose not to participate in future activities. They have a lot of field trips, which are actually travel. If you want to have fun, you can also go and participate. There is also a calligraphy and painting village in Mengshi, which is also a base they just set up this year. But it's a bit complicated inside. Some people set up companies there, tax exemption and so on. It's quite far from you, so just take a look around." Li Luanliang explained while driving.
Xiao Qi nodded.
This was her first time attending such a formal event, and she didn't know what to expect, so she was a little nervous.
Since the journey was quite long, Xiao Qi couldn't help but gossip a little and asked, "Does the president have a girlfriend?"
"Yes, she is at Qingmeng University and I am at Enhua. We are in the same grade and former high school classmates."
Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but imitate Wei Cheng's catchphrase: "That's great."
It's not easy to go from high school to college together.
Although I don’t know if we can continue in the future, we have probably been together for the most beautiful and simple years of our lives.
"That's right. I'll introduce her to you next time I have the chance. Your senior is just like you, very outstanding." Li Luanliang couldn't help but smile when talking about his girlfriend.
Xiao Qi received a call in the middle of the conversation. It turned out to be from the little kid Xiao Baoer.
She greeted me solemnly, and even through the phone, I could sense her adult appearance with her thick eyebrows and big eyes. Then she said in a coquettish voice, "Xiao Qi, it's my birthday tomorrow, and I invite you to come."
