A Short Story of my Journey:
It was started when I was in my first year of my college. A week after I went to college my class teacher asked me to give seminar on the topic regarding to environmental studies. She said that it should be clear and understood by everyone in the class. I was very nervous because it is my first time speaking in front of them. My legs and hands were shaking when I stand in front of everyone. Anyway, I completed the topic to be covered. In that very moment, I have realized that I can stand and speak in front of anyone by coming out of my comfort zone.
The next time, in an event, I was asked to speak on the topic “THE CURRENT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN INDIA” in front of the entire college. There were many higher authority people and students from other colleges too. It made me little bit afraid but little less than the first time because I believed myself that I can do it without making any fault. At the end of the event, everyone complimented me and said that I have explained about it very well. It made me so happy, and all this happen because I stepped forward and tried to give my best. If I remain afraid of speaking in front of people, that fear will stay within me forever. This incident made me strong and which helps me to believe in myself and communicate with people effectively and fearlessly.
