Most people usually get easily embarrassed about multiple situations in their lives. In my case, it was hard to remember the last time I got embarrassed; maybe because when I was a teenager I usually got embarrassed about everything. I was a shy teenager and my self-esteem was low. However, when I grew up and got a job working for the police department, I became mentally strong and my self-esteem grew. Because of that, I learned to pay attention to my actions and was less distracted. As I got older, I encountered less embarrassing situations, but I have to admit that now that I live in Chicago I'm still experiencing embarrassment. Being an English language learner, I have experienced a few moments of embarrassment because I mispronounce words and make mistakes with verb agreement in my sentences. For me learning a new language is a tool to survive and learn way how to express myself without an embarrassed moment and that’s why I’ll keep learning the language of English.

Give an example of a time you were embarrassed. Out of the many times, pick one time to describe.
