So today in English class, the teacher made everyone sit around together in a circle to share our autobiographies. Everyone was silent. The teacher decided to read her autobiography first to break the ice. Her story was so cute and silly yet heart-touching at the same time. Then we went around in a circle… When it almost got to my turn, my heart began pounding. I couldnt breathe. I hated public speaking. I’m TERRIBLY shy. Eeryone stared at me when it was my turn. My teacher smiled. I cleared my throat and began to read. My heart continues to pound. Then my teacher interrupts and asks if I could speak louder. Then continued. I was SO glad when it was finally over. Everyone clapped and complemented. It was embarassing. I hated having the spotlight on me. At the end of class my teacher was like “I would like to thank Lexy for being so brave and sharing her story with us and to everyone else in the class who participated” I covered my face and burried myself in my seat. Once the bell rang, I ran straight out of class. I caught up with my friend, chatted; then my aunt and uncle picked me up :)Aw! You sound just like me. I HATE doing orals, presentations, public speaking..pfft, you name it! I absolutely despise it, actually ;o I get really shy and scared and my heart pounds.. EEEK, it’s scary. I look fine on the outside but on the inside.. OHMYGOD :| Anyways, congrats <3 It sounded like you did good! :)
AWW, WE SHY KIDDOS MUST STICK TOGETHER <3 LMFAO. I know. I was SO SCARED. I couldnt concentrate at all, and i choked on a few words but I feel so great it’s done. Lmfao. Like in middle school, I didn’t talk AT ALL. Not a word for 3 years. Not even to my teachers and not even as much to my friends. D: So it’s even scarier in high school. D;
