Breaking out of my comfort zone

I think one of the scariest things for me to hear is "Public Speaking", The thought of getting in front of a crowd makes me sick to my stomach, literally. When I found out I had to take a public speaking class I was terrified and was dreading this quarter so much. Getting in front of people and reading or telling a story was honestly one of my biggest fears. I never thought I would be where I am now. After the first speech and receiving an A and being told by everyone in the class that I was extremely funny and entertaining made me feel a lot better about the whole "public speaking" thing. Now that I am almost halfway through with this class, I can tell how much I have changed by not being as nervous or anxious about getting in front of class. From the help of an awesome teacher to some great classmates, the Public Speaking class has changed me in so many ways and made me such a stronger, more professional individual.
