What makes you apprehensive about public speaking?
Public speaking has always been a major fear of mine. I am someone who usually studies and prepares a lot for assignments; but for some reason whenever I get in front of a crowd, I tend to forget everything I was planning to say! Sometimes it can feel so frustrating and nerve-racking for me to speak in front of other people, even though . My main reason for being so apprehensive is because I'm scared I am going to mess up, or pronounce something wrong, and everyone will notice. Although I am not normally a shy person, I do have my moments when I am not the most confident woman in the world. But sometimes, when I am talking about something I am passionate about (like my family, friends, and basketball) I tend to feel a lot better, more relaxed, and do a better job because I'm talking about someone or something I love and know a lot about.

Being passionate about a topic does make it easier. That's why, in this class you get to pick your own topics (with my approval of course). The more comfortable and knowledgeable you are about a topic, the better the speech is going to be. :)
