“I wanted to thank you for the work you put in for us since I didn’t get a chance to do it in person. You pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me realize that I may be able to speak to people freely without stress as long as I keep putting myself in situations where I am forced to, and I plan on making an effort to deliberately put myself in such situations in the future so that one day I may be able to speak freely without the burden of my anxiety. Thank you so much for your work, you truly have a big roll in my progression as a person.”
