Update on my nervousness prior to orientation post IT WENT SO GREAT. I was a nervous wreck going into it but when it was my turn to say my name and all that I took a deep breath and just said my name and it came out perfectly. Throughout the 2 day orientation I’ve had to say my name countless times and I didn’t stutter once while i said it. Idk if this helps for everyone but i’ve realized that listening to music really helps take the edge off of things like this for me. I think this experience as a whole has led me to be more confident in my speaking ability in general which i’m really happy about.
