['So when I was in grade 12, my friends and I competed in school math contest. I still was not feeling so confident because I was having a hard time fitting in the school. But that day I solved 4 out of 5 questions given during the contest and my team won. And from that day on until I finished the school I felt a little more recognized and quite a bit more confident.', "That's awesome! You must have felt so proud of your achievements.", 'Yes I did!']
That's good. I was never very good at math in school.
I once was a contestant for a math contest at my high school, and I solved most of the questions so my team won. The next day, my name and other team members' names were announced during the morning announcement and I felt very proud. This event boosted my confidence throughout the rest of my life in school.
