Thesis Statement:

Despite the commonly held belief that shyness negatively impacts academic achievement, shyness does not necessarily correlate with lower academic performance and may be associated with certain strengths,such as increased focus, detail oriented and independent study habits that can positively impact a student's educational outcomes.

I am having trouble finding scholarly resources to use supportive arguments that shyness does not always affect academic success. There is plenty of resources about negative effects of shyness of academic achievement. I am trying to prove that shyness does not always affect academic success in a negative mannor.
