This "shy-acting act" goes on for weeks and eventually, after a gentle pep-talk from Mom about the importance of speaking up, it's up to Mary-Ellen to decide if she'll be able to muster the courage and the confidence to once and for all end her "Word-Speaking Diet" and finally let her schoolmates hear her amazing voice.
