Overcoming My First School Speech:
A Journey from Nervousness to Confidence"
AHH THIS ARTICLE OR STORY IS ABSOLUTELY RELATED TO EVRYONE WHEN THEY WERE IN SCHOOL .SO Firstly I was not that girl who have a lot of courage, braveness and have a too much confident to speak in the public. I remembered till today that I was in 6 class. One morning in the assembly our school principal announced the competition of speech on science projects. When I listened it I totally moved my head in no. But nobody knew that who will do and win the competition. You can say me that I was such like girl who always site quite in the class and feel the fear of every teacher. It is some how funny that I just thought these things in my mind I think that it is normal because we see some teachers in our life who always scolded to the students, So that’s why I felt some how fear about my science teacher. She was very strict teacher but I am lucky to have such a like teacher, she supported me in this participation. However she also wanted to see the position holder certificate in my hands. Next day my tuition teacher said me that I want position. I and my brother thought that what he is saying. Then suddenly my teacher said that Eman you will do this. O my God at that moment I was about to cry and I had no words to say my teacher that sir I don’t want to do it please let this go. But my teacher said one thing to me that you can do it, you will do it, and you must do it. At that time I was in trouble and thinking about that now what will happen to me. Next day our science teacher came and said that the name those students who want to participate in this competition. Suddenly my tuition teacher who was also teaching in same school where we studied ad said write the name of Eman uhmm now what could I do. ALL the students get started their practice. 10 students were selected from our class including me . My tuition teacher was busy to make me perfect in speech. HE was correcting my English pronunciation, telling me about body language, face expression and also about eye contact to all audience. Now finally the day of competition has come I was feeling very nervous about my speech. The competition get started .One by one all the student had done their speech. Now finally it was about my turn. Before giving my first school speech, my heart was beating so fast that I felt like everyone could hear it my Goodness that moment was very crispy. Before giving my first speech I had never felt such like anxiety and nervousness before. My teacher pronounced my name that Eman come on the stage and big hands for her. At that moment I was about to do vomiting. But somehow I got ready to go on the stage. When I took my first step on the stage I felt that my breath had stopped. My legs and hands were shivering too much but suddenly I remembered my father advices that never hesitate in front of audience they are just listener and you are speaker. They want to hear you .At that moment I started to speak, when I was speaking my tongue was also shivering. During my speech I felt that everyone was looking at me. After speaking 3 or 4 lines I felt better, I was trying hard to make eye contact and I did it. I was also moving my hands and head to all my audience but my hands and legs were shivering continuously. I was sweeting during my speech. My mouth was completely dry. And slowly slowly I felt little bite confident then I made my voice loud so everyone can listen me easily . I was feeling that it is my big exam which I have to pass. Finally finished my speech .And I heard a big voice of clapping. That was making me feeling happy .next day now it is result day ,I was feeling nervous and the result announced .Guess what ? I heard my owm name in position holder list. I got 2nd position in speech ,when I hold the certificate I was about to cry for my success . That was my amazing experience in my life . Thanks to my tuition teacher .
