Voice

Yesterday in my socio-cultural class we talked about a range of things, what is democracy, what does it mean, what are values whats the teachers role in education, how would the educational system differ if students had a bigger role in the class room. 

I had a lot to say, I had a lot of opinions and thoughts on the subject matter and yet I wasn't able to luster up my voice until mid class and then it was very brief, I kind of felt like, where is my identity? Everyone's voice sounded so strong and powerful to a sense and they were so easily saying what they were thinking there were so many times I had something to say but remained silent.

I'm having a hard time speaking up, which sucks because I have a lot to say, I dont know where to begin on improving this either. Hopefully in time over the course of this class it will come naturally and I wont have an issue with speaking up and voicing ones opinion
