Helen:
I had always been really shy. I was the sort
of person who could go to a party and never talk to anybody. And
when you don't talk to anybody, it's hard to make friends.
Anyway, my sister suggested I take an acting class. She said it
might help me become more outgoing. So I did it. I was really
frightened in that first acting class. But you know, it really
helped. The teacher was very kind, and taught me that I could
talk to anybody just by pretending to be someone else.
