A question from the wheel

The wheel spun, and my name came up. It was my turn. I just had to answer the question on the screen.No time to overthink it. The answer was already there, somewhere in the back of my mind.

When the spotlight finds you

Everyone looks your way for a second. It’s not a test, but it feels like one. You just have to start talking.The first sentence is always the hardest. Once it’s out, the rest follows more easily. You remember what you actually know.

The space to be unsure

Sometimes the question is simple. Sometimes it makes you pause. That pause is okay.It’s not about being perfect. It’s about giving the thought in your head a chance to become words. The room waits, but it doesn’t judge.

What the silence means

It’s not an empty silence. It’s a thinking silence. People are following along, putting their own ideas together.

A different kind of listening

You listen differently when you know your turn could be next. You’re not just waiting to talk. You’re actually hearing the answers.It turns a room of individuals into a single conversation. Everyone’s piece fits, even the short ones.

After your answer lands

You let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding. The focus shifts to the next person, the next spin.Your part is done. It was just a moment, but it mattered. It moved the class forward, together.It’s a fair way to learn. Everyone gets the same chance, the same gentle push. You realize you knew more than you thought.
