Public Speaking 101

So monday was peacy and just fine and dandy, got my new daily duty and thats cleaning the office! thats a decent job and worked on Thessalonians self-study and completed it offically and than on monday evening we had our class on John. I was in group 5 who had to do chapter 5 of John and we all split it into sections to speak about...well I was up...I got a wee bit dizzy before going up and than i went up to speak. Lets just say...im not a public speaker in any sense. I couldn't think, my face turned beat red and i just kinda stared at my classmates and didn't do much but fidget and look super nervous and i was sweating buckets!! its nerve whacking being up there! and it took a few minutes but than Marco(who is teaching it) came up and put his arm around me and was like ill stay up here with you so that you don't have to look at me. So i attempted to speak...stammered a bit looked down at my notes and than looked up and was going somewhat smoothly than i just started to ramble on not really sure where i was going than my mind went blank and i stopped in a middle of a sentence and i was okay im done. can i sit down now? and Marco was like nop, i have to translate first! I just kinda stood up there super akwardly until he was done and my classamts were soo nice, they clapped after i was finished and while i was getting my guts to do there was encouarging smiles and what not so there awesome to help me out like that! but i was soo relieved when i sat down. and than today we had to present our self-study projects to our family group...that wasnt as scary and i just read the bible passage i was doing super super quick and than went on to do the rest and it went really well acutally...better than i thoguht. Marco also said at the end of mondays class that were gonna get together and get rid of my fear of public speaking! so that should be eventful attempting to do that! I do wanna share my testimony sometime this sem but first I really really need to improve on my public speaking skills casue that would be in front of all the students and staff....lol cheers!
