Monica's Reviews > Speechless: A Graphic Novel

This reminded me a lot of childhood. I had trouble speaking in class, especially when surprised that I was called on. (For that second part, it didn't help that I would read in class and lose track of what was happening) It took several years of struggling to push myself into more uncomfortable situations and now can fake confidence pretty well. I laugh to think that people who only met me as an adult might have difficulty seeing me as a shy person.

I'm also glad that there's emphasis here on the help of therapy and patience. I didn't get those options as a child and could have been helped so much by both.
