Public speaking, family, stupid people, debate team, write a book, my bow, archery team, trap, that one dream I had in 7^th grade,

I used to be deathly afraid of public speaking. I feel like that is a fear of a lot of people. Whenever I spoke I would start to shake I would get all sweaty and stumble over my words, which would of course make me even more nerves. Then freshmen year I decided to take Mr. Ray’s debate class. At first it was my worst nightmare I had basically signed up for a class where all you do is give speeches. But after a while you realize no one cares if you mess up they have all been there. It’s crazy how that worked out that class was filled with the most unforgiving people I have ever seen. One person made a mistake and everyone laughed at them. But that was what made it so good it was never personal. I grew out of that fear of public speaking really fast in that class it has taught me more then all my other school classes combined.
