That sounds pretty nerve-wreaking! There's nothing worse then waiting your turn to speak in front of alot of people. I remember back in school when one teacher made everybody say "present" when they called out your name during roll call. Most other teachers would let people say "here" or even "yes" but this teacher was very strict on the word "present", which of course I had difficulty with. So I always sat there with sweaty palms and a lump in my throat nervously waiting for my turn, it was torture. One time I was so pent up that when she called out my name I suddenly shouted "PRESENT" leading hard with the letter "P" which literally exploded out of my mouth. The whole class burst out laughing, my heart sank.
