This type of situation can be every…

One of the first times that I had ever spoken in front of a large audience, was when I was six. I was the angel in our Christmas Eve nativity service at church. When someone had asked me if I wanted to do it, I was pretty hesitant, but still decided to do it. I worked really hard to memorize the lines and get into character, but as soon as I got onto the stage, I froze. I was not physically able to move. I started to sweat profusely and could not stop shaking. Today, I have grown out of sweating…

I am slightly nervous for my demonstration speech. I have chosen to demonstrate how to make a dutch braid. When I present a speech to my audience I usually like to have something written down to what I might say just so I never get to the point where I stutter or use the word "um". Though, for my demonstration speech, I can't really do that because the process may not go as planned, so I might just stick to doing main points or key words to think about when presenting.
