Prompt: Describe a time when you had to speak in front of an audience. What were your fears? How did you handle them? What advice would you give to someone struggling with stage fright?

 So, there was this one time I had to speak in front of my whole class for a project, and honestly, I was freaking out. My heart was pounding, and I felt like I might pass out just thinking about it. I was scared that I’d forget everything or stumble over my words. But I just focused on breathing and remembering that I was prepared, which helped calm me down.

Today in class we did public speaking notes.

Summary:   l learned how returning to childhood innocence.

I practiced hard, showing up early and giving it my best, but when the team roster was posted, I didn’t make it. What hurt most was the way some of the kids who did make it spoke about me, saying things like, “He’s just trying to get attention” or “He’s not good enough.” It made me feel like I didn’t belong, and that I wasn’t serious about the sport, even though I was. It took time, but I realized I couldn’t let their judgment define me. That experience taught me that people often judge without knowing the full story, so I try to be more understanding and open-minded with others. Today in class we started a new book called "Lesson before Death" . It seems pretty interesting
