Entry 56, Public Speaking

 Public speaking is something I use to be very afraid of, and certainly still am under certain circumstances. I believe that public speaking skills is something developed along the way, you must learn how to over come the fear of speaking infront of so many people. This is a big reason why I chose to join MUN, I realized that I will eventually have to get up infront of many people to talk about work, or my ideas that I hope would help contribute to my future career, so I thought to myself, why not? It is actually getting more fun during MUN, as we actively participate in debates about world issues and perform constructive debates among each other in attempt to solve the issues at hand. I believe that everyone needs to be able to hop over that barrier, for me it was more like a "I don't give a crap" attitude that made me a better public speaker I am today than before. It is to a point where, you have to tell yourself, you will never see these people in your life ever again, then you will feel alot better about looking stupid infront of others. I believe that it is just the pressure that few hundred eyes are staring at you, having opinions about you that makes public speaking so scary. I still get nervous alot of times, and it is up to me, to train myself, and shape myself into someone who is confident about everything I say on stage.
