Impromptu speaking

This reading has helped to overcome my fears.

My throat dried up and my voice decided to take a vacation off to who-knows-where. I wanted to keep going, but the anxiety wouldn’t let me. Defeated, I put my hand down and let someone else answer the question. I had major speech anxiety. Public speaking had been a problem ever since I migrated from India when I was seven years old. Back in India, I was the good student. I got good grades and participated in the classroom often. I used to get a lot of praise from my teachers, but all of that changed

When I was preparing for this speech, I knew I wanted to do this with a partner. Emily Struewing was the perfect partner to work with. Our goal was to pick a topic that appealed to our audience and how it would benefit our audience.

(Q.1.) The specific purpose of our speech was by the end of this speech

Before beginning this class, I had no idea what expect. I had no prior experience with public speaking. I was really nervous about speaking in front of the class. Although I do not necessarily consider myself shy, I never liked being the center of attention.

I have never been the best at public speaking, especially in a classroom. The addition of knowing that my overall grade depends on those speeches makes me even more anxious. Even though I have been forced to do it for many years now with presentations and speeches, I have always felt that way.
