Anxiety was cursing through my veins and fear was clawing at my throat. Every nerve in my body was firing a thousand times a second. My lawyer called my name again and I forced myself to stand on my trembling feet. Can I really do this? What if I forget what to say? Nervousness clouded my thoughts. I tore my brain apart searching for my lines, but all…
