Jeremy, a welcome foreigner

Today I tried to challenge myself. I always know that I had a certain anxiety in term of talking to a stranger. Stranger in general, not just foreigner, but local as well. So today, I went to a beach, and force myself to make a conversation with not just a stranger but a foreigner strangers.

At first, it was really really challenging. My heart was beating so hard. It was really terrifying. I almost gave up. I passed by some women, but then after I saw their face, suddenly fear came up. It happened a lot, untill I met Jeremy.

He was sitting at a sitting place near the beach. I came, ask his permission to sit next to him. Make a small talk, I asked where he's from, then told him my intention. I said, "I'm looking for someone to practice my English."

After that, unexpectedly everything went smoothly. He's really nice, really open. Conversation went on for at least 10 minutes. I made an excuse to go. And also he said, "Don't worry about it, you have a good English."

That sentence pumped up my confidence  entirely. Thanks, Jeremy!
