Etta had made her way to the Charms Cabana! Step one: Done. Standing at the door that lay wide open she first poked her head in to inspect the population.
One. Two. Three!
Etta straightened herself and took a DEEP breath as she set foot inside the cabana where Professor Liu welcomed her students. Sheepishly bowing, Etta greeted the professor, ”Hello, Professor Liu.” Her voice was low and timid, which was the complete opposite of how she heard herself. But nonetheless the youngling gave Professor Liu a shy smile before finding where to sit.
Oh snap.
Who knew finding a place to sit would be a difficult task! Etta’s heart began to pound in her chest and the anxiety began to rise as she looked around the room. There were many curiosities around but the youngling’s mind couldn’t focus on them quite yet.
Don’t be scared. Don’t be scared. Don’t be scared.
Etta wringing her hands, scanned the perimeter. There were already a few students in attendance, some she recognized. Turning her head slightly to the side she marched to a table and set her bag down before taking a seat. Step two: Done.
Now, to observe her surroundings. The desserts looked so tasty and her mouth watered but she was feeling much too shy and anxious to approach the delicacies. So she just turned her attention to all the objects laid out on the tables, mentally reciting the colors and shapes she was seeing including the cans of paint to help decrease the anxiety.
Paint! Yes, Etta loved paints!
No panic today! Etta was determined to have a successful day in class! |
