Dear Jillian,
I heard that you are joining your school’s Mind Benders quiz competition. Congratulations on being selected! I am writing this letter to encourage you to be confident. During the practice sessions, you should just call out your answer. Nobody will think badly of you as everybody makes mistakes one time or another. Don’t worry if you make mistakes. Mistakes help you to learn. If you feel shy, just remember that all the other contestants are calling out their answers. All their answers may not be correct. Just do your best and don’t worry about what other people may think of you. To build your confidence, you can practise speaking in front of the mirror.
I hope this letter has encouraged you to be confident. All the best for the competition!
Yours,
Anishka
