A BASHFUL GIRL WHO KNOWS HOW TO JOKE
By: Karen Dela Rama
Ever since I can remember, I was naturally quiet and shy. I constantly
repeated myself because people could not hear me the first time. Even then, I seldom
made eye contact with others. While many like to believe that shy people live in self-
doubts or struggle with low self-esteem, well for me it’s not the case. I believe that we
have this certain type of personality and in the ravine of our mind, it’s normal. And
being normal has no definition.
Me: What kind of tea is hard to swallow?
Hubby: I’ve been in food and beverage industry for years but I didn’t encounter that
kind of tea, what is that tea?
Me: Reality (laugh)
Hubby: _ Anyway, “How do I look?”
Me: “With your eyes.”
Telling other people what I feel is really hard, expressing my thoughts and
opinion defends on who I’m talking with. But I want you to know that I’m normal. I’m
breathing the same air as you. I can also tell jokes if I want to. I see things that you
see and I have a vision and a dream just like everybody else. I may not talk a lot just
like you do but that doesn’t mean I’m snob. I just don’t’ want to talk.
Marites: How come you became a teacher when you’re shy, how can you teach your
students?
Me: Just like what I’ve said, my shyness and my ability to talk defends on who I’m
talking with.
There are times that people tell me to stop dreaming. That my parents should
stop sending me to school because it just a waste of time and money. But I never
listen, my parents never listened to them. I want them to know that this is me, I’m not
born to please anybody. My parents decided to give me life so, I also want to give
them the life that they deserve.
I’m a silent warrior, continuously battling my weaknesses and imperfections.
Dreaming for the better future of my students. Wishing to the shooting stars that life
must be easy on me. Believing that God is always there watching and guiding us from
above. Hoping that my family will always safe from any form of harm. Silently praying
for my son’s better future. Trying to be a good wife to my husband and the best mother
to my son. Wanting to lead my students into the right path so they won’t lost in life.
I maybe a shy girl but I know how to jest in this world full of pleasantry. I can
sway with the rhythm of life and can fight with the challenges that comes on my way.
