Hello, so basically I can read,write and speak English. I only live in USA for 4 yrs and I’m having a hard time getting to the advance level. In my state we have a test called (access test) which is for people who speak another language at home I took it more than 2x and I finally got to 3.9 but I actually need 4.5 in order to not take it anymore. My vocabulary is so low I don’t know that many words and I sometimes have hard time reading some words while reading. I barely talk to Native speakers because I fear they will judge me please give me your best advice. And how to gain confidence to talk to the language speakers>3. Thanks

Maybe try going to your friends that know english. Maybe try using english language apps to boost your knowledge about it. Thats all I got, really sorry.

1. Get Things Done  

Confidence is built on accomplishment. If you achieve small and big goals, you're going to feel much better about yourself. It begins with your day-to-day goals, what do you need to accomplish today, and every day this week or three days this week to help meet your goal? If you accomplish the goals you set for every day, chances are you will begin meeting weekly and monthly goals, which brings you in range of your bi-annual and annual goals. Keep in mind that progress is incremental, and big changes do not happen overnight. You're going to feel like you can take a big project, and set an ambitious goal because you believe you can meet it. Set a goal for yourself, and go for it.

2. Monitor Your Progress

The best way to reach your goals, big or small, is break them into smaller goals and to monitor your progress. Whether you're trying to get promoted, get a better job, get into graduate school, change careers, eat healthier or lose 10 pounds, the best way to know if you're making progress is to monitor it. Try to quantify your accomplishments: the number of applications you're submitting to jobs or graduate schools, what you're eating and how much you're exercising, write down whatever your goal may be. It will help you stay on course, and you will build confidence as you see the progress you're making in real time.

3. Do The Right Thing  

Most confident people live by a value system and make their decisions based on that value system, even when it's hard and not necessarily in their best interest, but in the interest of the greater good. Your actions and your decisions define your character. Ask yourself what the best version of yourself that you aspire to be would do, and do it. Even when it's really hard and it's the last thing you want to do and it means a short-term sacrifice on your part, in the long run you're going to like yourself more and be prouder of who you are.

4. Exercise  

Besides benefitting your health in general, exercising helps memory retention, improves focus, helps manage stress and prevents depression. It's harder to be anxious when there is no excess energy to draw upon, and outside of being difficult uncomfortable at times, exercise improves every aspect of your life. So stay active, and create time to take of yourself.

And P.S I have only Been in the USA for 4 years too! But I was born in the US and then moved to India and came back!

The main theme in Emerson's essay on Self Reliance is Individualism. the philophy that emphazises the moral worth of the individual. In it, Emerson urges his readers to be self-suficient, not to follow blindly doctrines but their inner moral compass. He makes the point that a man, in order to be a full being, needs but himself, and sometimes away from society. This can be read along the lines: A man is to carry himself  in the presence of all opposition, as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he.

The textual evidence to support how Emerson's views of individualism relate to ideas of Transcendentalism can be read in the following lines: He who would gather immortal palms must not be hinderted by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. This idea alone is the basis of Transcendentalism, the belief that each person, individually,  has to find an original relation to the universe.
