Self-confidence Makes Difference Yesterday night I messaged a classmate and we talked a little, we happened to refer to each other's future. I said "what will I be in the future?". He made an answer for me "To be a xx", "Can I?" , "Yes, you can if only you have confidence and work hard". Usually, I am not a person full of self-confidence, but I know he is. You can tell from an experience we both engaged in. Well, he and I were in the same lab before, and one year ago right after graduation, we decided to invite our supervisors to dinner to thank their dedication to tutoring us. His girlfriend recommended a restaurant which we hadn't been there before, so we should first find that place and make reservation. We went to the road where the restaurant located, but we went back and forth for several times, and still couldn't find it. My reaction was "How could I be so stupid that I couldn't even find a restaurant, while he acted conversely, like " The restaurant should be moved to another place." At last we found the place, it turned out we both didn't keep eyes open enough, because it was right there. So I always wonder that if I had enough self-confidence as he, how far can I go? But one thing for sure, farther than where I am now. I am trying to be more confident.

Self-confidence Makes Difference

Last night I messaged a classmate and we talked a little; we happened to refer to each other's future. I said (asked), "what will I be in the future?" He answered me, "To be a xx."
"Can I?"
"Yes, you can if only you have confidence and work hard."
Usually, I am not a person full of self-confidence, but I know he is. You can tell from an experience we both engaged in. Well, he and I were in the same lab previously, and a year ago, right after graduation, we decided to invite our supervisors to dinner to thank them for their dedication in tutoring us. His girlfriend recommended a restaurant which we hadn't been to before, so we decided to find that place first, and make a reservation. We went to the road where the restaurant was located, but although we went back and forth for several times, we (still) couldn't find it. My reaction was, how could I be so stupid that I couldn't even find a restaurant, while he acted conversely, saying, " The restaurant has probably moved somewhere else." At last we found the place; it turned out that neither of us had kept our eyes open enough, because it was right there.
So I always wonder, that if I had as much self-confidence as him, how far can I go? But one thing is for sure, farther than where I am now.
I am trying to be more confident.

An interesting essay, Amy.
When you are writing a verbatim conversation with speech marks, it is customary to start a new paragraph each time the speaker changes, so that the reader can tell it is a different person speaking.
