Hi, my name is Penny from New Zealand.

I was diagnosed with OCD when I was only three years old.

My parents knew it was weird that I was the cleanest toddler in the world.

I threw a fit if I ever touched anything dirty, including my dad after he worked all day long.

Maybe that's why he left us.

Maybe I was just too weird for him.

But when Dad packed his bags and took off, Mom promised it wasn't because of me.

"You're perfect, just as you are, Penny." I didn't feel perfect.

My OCD was so bad, I had to touch every single lamp post I saw on the way to school.

I was always so anxious, and it made me feel so good to touch the cold metal.

I made sure no one in school saw the real me.

Nothing could crack my mask, except...

For my classmate and my rival, Jin.

Jin was a mess since we were kids.

Once in first grade, He drew on the walls while I watched, screaming like a maniac.

Chill out, it's just a crayon.

I rushed over and started wiping it off.

He got really mad and pulled me off.

Hey!

I made that!

You're ruining the walls!

What are you, the janitor?

I like things clean.

Okay, from now on, you're Janitor Penny.

I jumped on him and started tearing his hair out.

But he kept calling me "Janitor Penny." And he meant it.

He called me that for four years straight.

Once when we were in third grade, some girls came to me during lunch and said they really loved my outfit.

I stood up to show it to them.

But just then, Jin walked by and dropped his food on the floor.

"Hey, it's Janitor Penny!

Wanna mop the floor?" "Shut up, Jin.

Make me !" The girls started laughing at me, and I felt so embarrassed.

I just glared at him and stormed off.

He just loved to mess with me, and he never gave up.

Once he brought fake insects to class and flung them at me.

What a jerk!

To make matters worse, we took the same route to school, and he just loved to run into me and annoy me.

Once he even came to my house while I was outside and said, "Hey, Janitor Penny.

Wanna wash my clothes?" Ugh, he made me so mad!

I picked up a neighbor's hose and started spraying him with water.

Ugh, Penny, stop it!

You wanted to be clean, right?

Here you go!

He tried to ride away, but I chased him with the hose.

The neighbors were laughing at us, but I didn't care.

Suddenly, the pipe snapped to its full length, and I fell back.

My head hit the concrete so hard.

Ow! That hurt!

I looked up to see.. chin hovering over me.

Don't act like you care, jerk.

I got up and ran home at full speed.

I had no time to deal with immature boys.

My mom ran a cafe, and now that I was old enough, I had to help her with waitressing and delivering orders.

I also had to study for my exams at the same time.

One day I got called to deliver an order to my school building.

When I got there, I saw Jin with a group of his friends.

Ugh.

Is this your order?

Janitor Penny!

How do you find time to clean and deliver food?

You're amazing.

Suddenly, I noticed what they were doing.

They were putting graffiti on the school building.

The messy, bright colors nearly gave me a stroke.

I literally ran to the garden hose and turned it on over the walls.

Penny, no!

Jin grabbed the hose and tried to pull it away.

I wrestled him to the ground, but I refused to let go go.

I can't take this.

I have to look at the school every day.

It's washable.

It's for an art contest.

You just ruined her entry.

Oh no. That was three days of work.

You make me crazy.

I'm sorry.

I was so embarrassed.

I just ran.

I didn't even take my payment.

This time, I was the jerk.

I tried to avoid Jin out of guilt, but he showed up at my cafe the next evening.

I was prepared for hell.

You forgot to take your money.

Here, I left you a nice tip.

I was... So confused.

Wow, um, thanks?

I'm really sorry.

I shouldn't have erased your art.

Uh, that's okay.

Actually, I have another gift for you.

Come on!

He pulled me outside, and my jaw hit the floor.

There was a huge graffiti on my cafe walls!

It was a horrible drawing of a girl with a mop!

Jin was already running away.

That's you, Janitor Penny!

I'm gonna end you, Jin!

Thank God the paint was washable or my OCD would have wrecked me.

100

It had been getting worse as I was growing up.

101

There were so many tiny ways I struggled every day, but I hid them all for my mom.

102

She was so happy to have a perfectionist daughter like me, and I wasn't gonna disappoint her.

103

I was gonna be the top of my class.

104

If I could do that, all the struggle would be worth it.

105

And I almost did it.

106

Almost when our teacher once announced, "Penny, you got second place." After...

107

Jin.

108

What?

109

Jin winked at me.

110

Not bad, JP.

111

JP?

112

Janitor Penny.

113

Ugh, I hate you, Jin.

114

To be honest, I hated myself.

115

How could someone so messy and rude beat me?

116

Mom consoled me at home.

117

Penny, you did so well.

118

Second place is amazing.

119

No, Mama.

120

I will work hard and I will beat Jin, I promise you.

121

I stopped going out with my friends and cut down on my hours working at the cafe.

122

I tried to study as hard as I could with my rising anxiety.

123

I was obsessing over the street lamps and taking longer routes to school so I could touch more of them.

124

They made me feel better.

125

One time, I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize I was crossing the street.

126

I turned and saw the bright lights of the car about to hit me.

127

A hand grabbed me and pulled me off the road just in time.

128

Penny, didn't you see the car coming?

129

Didn't?

130

What?

131

What?

132

I saw you going from lamp to lamp without even looking.

133

You could have gotten hurt.

134

What's wrong with you?

135

None of your business.

136

I ran away from him, but he caught up to me.

137

He just kept bugging me about the lamps again and again, and before I knew it, I exploded.

138

I have OCD, okay?

139

You're the last person I want to explain this to, but I am obsessed with cleaning and touching lamps.

140

Happy?

141

Now leave me alone!

142

I stormed away from him, but obviously he followed me.

143

"JP, do you want to touch the lamps if you can't see them?" I can't walk with my eyes closed.

144

Get on my bike, I'll take you home.

145

What?

146

No!

147

I don't trust you!

148

You gonna say that when I just saved your life?

149

That hurts my feelings.

150

He started to ride away, and I pulled him back.

151

Okay, okay, sorry.

152

I'll go with you.

153

Close your eyes.

154

Don't look at the lamps.

155

To my total disbelief, his idea actually worked.

156

I was home in a matter of minutes instead of hours.

157

And I didn't feel anxious at all.

158

Jin, thank you. So much.

159

I didn't do it for you.

160

I just didn't want my competition to get hit by a car.

161

I want to beat you again next year.

162

Will you stop teasing me?

163

Never.

164

I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.

165

You what?

166

Jin showed up at my house the next day to take me to school, and he insisted on dropping me home too.

167

I was too shocked to even protest.

168

Was this an elaborate prank?

169

Or was Jin being nice?

170

I enjoyed being around someone who knew my secret.

171

I didn't have to hide my weird impulses anymore.

172

Suddenly, Jin was way more than just an annoying boy.

173

He was a genius at every subject.

174

And he was an amazing artist.

175

He worked so hard on a new entry for the art contest

176

And I was really happy for him when he won by a landslide.

177

He deserved it.

178

His team got a trophy and a huge check.

179

A reporter even wanted to interview him.

180

When he heard the news, He looked worried.

181

I live in a one -bedroom apartment with a family of six.

182

I can't have people over.

183

Maybe you can do the interview at my cafe.

184

Really?

185

That would be perfect!

186

Oh, JP.

187

He gave me a tight hug.

188

Ah!

189

Let me go!

190

Never.

191

I cleaned and decorated the cafe for the interview.

192

But that was a mistake.

193

The moment the reporters showed up, they spread their junk everywhere.

194

The cameraman ate candy and threw the wrappers on the floor.

195

His hand was covered with melted chocolate and he touched everything.

196

I begged myself to keep it together for Jim, but then, right in the middle of the interview, I heard a crash.

197

The cameraman dropped his glass.

198

"Ah, don't worry about it.

199

We gotta keep rolling." He kicked the broken glass under the table and walked all over the sticky soda.

200

That broke me.

201

I literally attacked the mess.

202

I needed to clean it!

203

Hey, you're in the shot!

204

Get out!

205

I need to clean this, sorry!

206

We're on live, lady!

207

Clean it after we're done!

208

When I didn't move, the cameraman grabbed my arm and pushed me away.

209

That was when all hell broke loose.

210

Jin flew from the seat and tackled the man to the ground.

211

"How dare you touch her!

212

I'm gonna kick your butt !" They wrestled on the floor on live TV.

213

It took five people to pull them apart.

214

I was weeping.

215

My compulsion had wrecked Jin's interview.

216

Once we kicked the reporters out, I locked myself in my room.

217

I was going to stay inside till I wouldn't be me anymore.

218

Jin kept calling me, so I turned off my phone.

219

I wasn't hungry, and I just wanted to sleep.

220

One day, I heard a shout from outside my room.

221

"Aaah!

222

It broke my leg!

223

Aaaaah !" It was Jin!

224

I rushed out of the room to see what had happened, and Jin jumped behind me and shut the door.

225

"Hey!

226

Your leg is not broken !" I asked him to help.

227

I couldn't stand to watch you punish yourself for that interview.

228

It wasn't your fault.

229

Yes, it was.

230

Once.

231

Just once.

232

I wanted to ignore the mess.

233

I'm done, Mom.

234

I don't want to feel like this anymore.

235

I -I need help with my OCD.

236

You don't need help.

237

You're perfect, just as you are.

238

That was when Jin spoke up.

239

She's perfect even if she needs help.

240

She'll still be a good daughter and a great friend.

241

Why should she suffer?

242

- Suffering?

243

- Mom, my anxiety has been so bad, and I didn't want to share any of it with you.

244

I didn't want you to hate me and leave me.

245

- Penny, you are my life.

246

I could never leave you.

247

But Dad left me.

248

That really got her.

249

She walked over and-- pleased me in a tight hug.

250

thoughts Not true.

251

He left because our marriage was already falling apart.

252

I'm so sorry.

253

So sorry, Penny.

254

You started taking care of me when it should be the other way around.

255

I never want you to hide your struggles from me.

256

That's what I'm here for.

257

Got it.

258

Yes, Mom will get you the help you need.

259

You'll always be my perfect daughter.

260

I hugged my mom in tears.

261

feeling lighter than I had in years.

262

Jin hesitated, but Ma made him join the hug.

263

Things get a lot easier when you're not dealing with them alone.

264

I was free to be myself.

265

And I was finally enjoying my school life.

266

I was also relaxed enough to see that Jin was crazy about me.

267

How had I not noticed the way he looked at me before?

268

One day, we were out for burgers when the cashier started flirting with me.

269

Jin literally glared at him before pulling me aside.

270

"I'll get the food.

271

Why don't you sit down?" "You're jealous, aren't you?" "No." "I think you're jealous." I think you're wrong.

272

I think you wanna kiss me.

273

No I don't!

274

Okay, I'll just go kiss that cashier then.

275

Come here.

276

He pulled me back to him and kissed me.

277

Ha!

278

Finally!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
