1
there are people in our lives that make us feel safe
2
and loved and respected
3
and then for some of us out there there are people in our lives
4
that are supposed to make us safe and loved and respected
5
but they don't do their job my entire life I've had a wonderful father who has made
6
so many sacrifices for me and taking care of me so
7
that I could have a better future unfortunately I can't say the same about my mother.
8
From a young age, I was always ridiculed, teased, and taunted by my mom.
9
And whenever I did something wrong, I wasn't properly sat down and disciplined.
10
I was yelled at and smacked even sometimes.
11
I grew up with a very low self -esteem because my mom would say things like, you're terrible.
12
I don't like you.
13
I don't love you at all.
14
I think that you're a big burden to this family.
15
What sin could I have possibly committed to have had you as a kid?
16
And she thought that all of these words would just brush over
17
and that I would realize that she somehow didn't mean them.
18
But she said them so many times that I don't think she doesn't believe them.
19
In fact, I'm quite sure that she means everything that she says
20
and as a result it has lowered my self -esteem
21
and my self -worth and it has made me do things like cutting and inflicting self -harm.
22
As a young adult even now I suffer with this.
23
Of course I've stopped inflicting self -harm
24
but I have struggled with my self -worth
25
so much whenever I look into the mirror I can't see a girl that I love and appreciate.
26
I can't see somebody that is strong and independent.
27
I see someone who's weak and who's been broken and shattered by a negative influence all her life.
28
To those of you out there who are struggling because of some negative influence in your life,
29
whether it be your parents or an ex -best friend or an ex -boyfriend or a bully or anything, please remember that you're not alone
30
that you don't deserve to suffer this way and nobody should be able to say that to you you are wonderful,
31
compassionate human beings and you have so much to offer this world don't let this negative influence take over your life anymore
32
I was an extremely nervous and shy kid The type
33
that hid behind their mom to avoid any social interaction My
34
first day of grade one was a complete nightmare My dad dropped me at school
35
and I begged him to go to class with me I
36
couldn't stand the thought of being alone in a room full of strangers I cried
37
and cried until he said yes Turns out I was the
38
only kid in class with a parent sitting beside me holding my hand.
39
And it seemed like the older I got, the worse my anxiety became.
40
I began to get more and more anxious to do things.
41
I never raised my hand in class in fear of being wrong and everyone laughing at me.
42
One day the teacher called on me to answer the question, and I sat there shaking and sweating in my seat, trying to form the words I wanted to say.
43
Finally, my answer came out as a stutter and a few people chuckled beside me.
44
And yes, I ended up being right, but it took so much effort out of me.
45
In grade 8, we started to do a lot of presentations in class.
46
I would always memorize what I needed to say, but the moment I stood in front of the class, I would forget everything.
47
I would stand up there completely paralyzed.
48
There was this one time when my teacher called me up to the front of the class to present, and as I was walking up, I tripped over someone's foot, knocked over the projector, and landed right on my face.
49
I stood up as fast as I could and ran to the girls' bathroom to cry.
50
I felt like I was always embarrassing myself.
51
Even school dances were a struggle.
52
I would stand against a wall while everyone had a good time.
53
Eventually high school rolled around.
54
My anxiety continued to hold me back.
55
I struggled to meet new people so I would sit in the library to eat my lunch.
56
There were even a few times when the library was full and I had to eat in a washroom stall.
57
I began developing a fear for being in crowded spaces.
58
I could only sit in a packed classroom for a certain amount of time before I had to get up and leave.
59
So I had to go see a guidance counsellor to tell her what was wrong.
60
And she gave me these slips of paper
61
that I could give my teacher whenever I was feeling an anxiety attack coming on.
62
And he would excuse me from the classroom without asking any questions.
63
This helped me, but people started to wonder why I left the classroom so frequently.
64
People thought I was extremely strange.
65
The only way I can explain an anxiety attack to you is the feeling of not being able to breathe.
66
Like something is pressing really hard on your chest and you can't take a full breath in.
67
Your heartbeat gets faster and your whole body heats up until you sweat uncontrollably.
68
It's a feeling of panic.
69
Sometimes you don't even know why you feel this way.
70
Sometimes it just happens when you least expect it.
71
There was one day in grade 10 when my mom took my sister and I to see a movie.
72
When we got there the theater was pretty packed.
73
So we had to sit in the very middle of an aisle surrounded by tons of people in every direction.
74
About halfway through the movie I began to feel the panic coming on.
75
My heart began speeding up and I couldn't seem to calm myself down.
76
I tried fanning myself with the empty popcorn bag, but that wasn't working.
77
So I whispered into my mom's ear and told her what was going on.
78
She seemed confused, but saw in my face how upset I was.
79
So we all got up and left the theater.
80
I finally decided this was enough.
81
I needed help.
82
My parents set me up with a therapist in my area.
83
It was a very comfortable environment and I was able to tell her everything that was bothering me.
84
She told me that I definitely had an anxiety disorder.
85
She told me that she could work with me to lessen its effect on my life.
86
This took a while, but with help I was noticing changes in my life.
87
I began reaching out to people at school.
88
I rarely left my class or a movie theater because I felt claustrophobic.
89
Things were changing all around me for the better.
90
And yes, anxiety is still a part of my life, but it isn't as dominant as it was before.
91
My last year of college I was even able to start my YouTube channel, which took a lot of courage and confidence.
92
I'm even able to talk to an audience of people at meet and greets without having a complete meltdown.
93
Things are great! and I'm the happiest I've been in my entire life.
94
When I first went on study abroad, I was super excited.
95
Everyone always tells you it is the best experience of your life
96
and you won't want to come home by the time it's over.
97
I was excited to experience this new culture, these new people, and especially the history of where I was staying.
98
So I finally got off my flight, made my way to my dorm, and I remember looking out the window for the first time and just getting this feeling of dread.
99
I was alone in a country I had never been in.
100
I didn't know anybody.
101
I was just thinking, what had I gotten myself into?
102
So I called my family up and I said, to be honest, I don't know if I made the right choice.
103
So my sister called me back and said, well, I went on study abroad and I had the same feelings at first.
104
You feel alone, you feel scared, but you'll adapt and you'll have a great time.
105
So the first week went on, I met some very nice people.
106
I saw some beautiful sights, but there was almost this veil over my eyes as if I wasn't really experiencing what I was seeing.
107
People would always ask, you know, how's study abroad going?
108
What are you seeing?
109
What are you doing?
110
Are you having a good time?
111
And there's such a pressure on you and study abroad to have this fantastic life -changing experience.
112
So I would just kind of smile and nod.
113
I would post pictures on social media detailing the places I went, but all of it was really quite hollow.
114
I felt extremely lost and like I didn't have a purpose.
115
I wasn't enjoying my classes.
116
I was having trouble making connections and I overall just was desperate to go home.
117
My family had spent so much money on this trip, on my college, and the education I was receiving, and I was afraid that going home would make me a failure.
118
So after two and a half months abroad, I reached a point that I think was finally my breaking point.
119
I felt like there was no escape.
120
Like if I went home, I was a failure, but if I stayed, I would have to continue to be miserable and alone.
121
So I called up my therapist and I told him how I really felt.
122
And this was a point where him and I together decided I needed to go home.
123
This meant I would not receive any of the credits I had worked hard on in my classes.
124
I would have to retake the semester, but I was just so desperate to get out of the situation, it didn't matter anymore.
125
So two days later, I was on a plane home.
126
I told all my friends I was leaving.
127
I told my flatmates why I had to go.
128
And on social media, I made a post saying, for health reasons, I will be coming home early.
129
So it has been a month since I came home and people will still ask me how my study abroad was.
130
And it's still a very tough question for me to answer
131
because I was in a beautiful place and I saw beautiful things I will never forget.
132
But it just wasn't the right time for me to do what I was doing.
133
In the end, I had to figure out that my mental
134
and physical health were what were most important in the situation
135
and that sometimes what everyone else does is not what you need to do.
136
Do things at your own pace because sometimes your pace is different from what other people expect it to be.
137
Oh my god, and we totally jumped off the cliff
138
and had to swim all the way to shore because the dog chased us all the way to the end.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
