The teacher encouraged her, and the students around her encouraged her, but she was afraid and shed tears.
? Class will be over in a few minutes. ? The teacher is getting impatient, and there is some reproach in his tone. The little girl's legs trembled even more, but she took a small step back and a big step forward. Looking at the height of 3 meters in the pool is really a challenge for a child. Suddenly, people around her saw her jumping with her eyes closed, and the water splashed high, but applause rang.
? Angela, we are all proud of you. How did you overcome your timidity? A friend named Miena asked her. This girl named Angela 12 years old has dried her tears and put on her clothes.
