“Timing is never perfect. Just start and then keep going”

Here I am going to share my just start project. The thing I am always afraid to do is addressing a lot number of people. I am always hesitant to it. I still remember that when I have to give presentations in university the first presentation was really a bad experience for me as when I went there I felt like I can’t speak a single word like someone is holding my throat. My whole body was shaking and I stood there without uttering a single word. But next time I somehow managed to get out of it, to alteast speak what I had to say. This thing in me hasn’t still improved to much extent. But I want to get out of it somehow.

“Fear is only the state of mind”

So I thought to overcome it through teaching. In my entire life I always believed that I can’t do teaching, as I don’t have confidence how will I be able to teach students.

My goal

Start teaching at school level to enhave my confidence level. Here is a list that I made to start my plan for this week. Its consists of three tasks.

  1. Giving an interview
  2. Giving a demo
  3. Selection as a teacher.

The first thing I did was to give an interview for that post. I was so hesitant for going somewhere else that I only selected the school where I had completed matriculation. I went there and gave the interview. I was selected they asked me to give a demo I was so scared at that time that I asked them can I come tomorrow for demo. They said yes.

Next day I gave demo, but they don’t have a seat for matriculation staff so they appointed me for juniors section. The demo went well and I got selected

Now I am there as a teacher. I know that I am not a good teacher like others but I really want to improve myself as a person. I want to learn new things form this phase of my life. Maybe in the end I have attained a lot of confidence that I can get rid of my fear of public speaking. I am waiting for that day.

Now my future plans are to try to be a teacher for matriculation as well If I gain something in juniors section.
