A introvert not so good looking girl, who always dreamed big in her corner of the family bed with eyes open in the dark night when she was not being noticed or judged by anyone around.
She knew, one day all her dreams will be a reality and those dreams gave her lift everyday to fight against the odds in life. One of those were "speaking English fluently"
Born in a family where English speaking was a luxury and studying in a school where most of the students were English freak. Well! there was a day-to-day challenge for her to face the teachers and face the classroom when it was her turn to read the paragraph. After small murmurs and crooked smile of her peers, she spends the rest of her day in her dream to learn to speak English. But non of her parents could answer her query on "how do I learn to speak English if no one is there to speak with me".
It was a regular fight with her identity and she always dreamed about conquering the battle. One day she was asked by her teacher to narrate a story which he had written. But, she was scared as her English may spoil the beauty of the story. But, she was asked by him to memorize the story and narrate it to the audience of her imagination.
She followed as instructed and on the day of her storytelling event she succeeded to narrate it without much problem. To her surprise, she noticed that she had also added a few sentences of her own which happened naturally while she was delivering her speech to the real audience.
WOW! If I can do this, I can also learn to speak it fluently. What I have to do is just practice speaking in my imagination.
Then started her everyday struggle with day dreaming... Her parents thought she is just no more interested in studies and always want to sleep. Her friends thought she has gone very arrogant just by giving one speech on stage. But, she knew what she was after and each day she chose a topic to speak to her imaginary audience/friend. The days were so tough that it took hours to figure out the correct sentence. She delivered speech after speech with messed up grammar and useless sentences. But, she continued doing it and started listening to discovery channel. Got bashed up hard by her father thinking she is wasting her time but she continued to follow her way towards her goal.
It was a tough journey, where she watched discovery for hours together and could not understand a bit of the sentences properly. But, then one day something amazing happened. Her father's uncle called up from Delhi and he wanted to speak in English with her as her dad told him with pride that now-a-days she watch only English discovery channel.
Oh! NOOOO.... Me?? NO no no... I was not confident to speak to a real person who would point out my error and I will be ashamed in front of my parents. But, she had no choice than taking the challenge... To her surprise, she could speak to him in English and she was able to form sentence and her accent was good too.
=============================================
She wasn't sure then but today she found out the answer which was her training of the subconscious mind.
=============================================
Now, she gained her confidence, she could see that yes she did it and there started her journey to be the best English speaker in school. With all her everyday-dedication and her super supportive imaginary audience, she was able to speak grammatically correct English fluently... And yes!! with accent!! Remember discovery speakers?? There it came from.... Hahahaha!
