Today on Blue Peter we watch as Richie continues his epic quest to climb the 137m sea-stack known as the Old Man of Hoy. But, as the country is thrown into a second national lockdown, his progress takes a big hit, his confidence is knocked and he begins to question whether he could fail.

For example, you could write:

“I love playing the piano but I’ve always been scared to play in front of people, so I challenged myself and entered the school talent competition. It was terrifying, I've never shaken more in my life, but now I feel a lot more confident! ”

“I used to get scared to talk on the phone, but over lockdown, I wasn't able to see my granny as much, so we set up weekly phone calls. Now I call her all the time just to chat!”

“My family recently moved across the country which meant I had to start a new school! 😱 To begin with, I was really nervous and lonely, but I plucked up the courage to join a couple of after-school groups and have made some new besties.”
