But many women monitor their participation not only to get the floor but to avoid getting it.”

We all agreed that we found it’s statements useful. We felt that we could relate to the passage content. In summary, it talked about one student’s struggle with speaking up in class. She wanted to participate, but she was worried that her answers and questions wouldn’t be interesting or intellectual enough. As students, we all struggle with some degree of hesitation or fear related to sharing ideas or speaking in front of others. But, our group concluded that participating and staying engaged, to whatever degree you can, is what’s important. Don’t worry about sounding silly or tripping over your words. Sometimes, we build things up in our head as being worse than they truly are. Participate as you can and contribute your thoughts/ideas about class topics and group discussions; then, you’ve already taken the right step forward.
