Evan is quite outgoing, but she tends to shy away from doing things in front of people she doesn't know. She doesn't have a problem in gymnastics when all the parents are watching her, but put her on a stage in the spotlight and she's scared. She had an opportunity in Kindergarten to recite a poem for the American Heritage Poetry contest, but she got too nervous just thinking about it. Mrs. Reger bribed her in 1st grade. She told her she would get a 'Bear Buck' (she could spend it at school) if she competed. So, she had her poem memorized with just a few attempts about a month beforehand. She did a really great job, but there were so many competitors who recited the same poem. This year we are planning on writing an original poem.
