Felt really good today So last week we had a career guidance talk and today the teacher made each of us give our experience abt it(keep in mind there are 90 students in my class).I kept waiting for the time to get over so I could just go back home But there was something telling me that I need to overcome this fear. I felt like my body was willing but mind was weak. I kept telling myself I would go after the next person but there was something holding me back. Anyway towards the end I finally mustered up whatever courage I had and talked. And honestly it wasn't that bad.All I know is that last year me would've never been able to do this.Even though i talked for maybe 30 seconds I still got a round of applause and it made me feel really really good.I got a little nervous while talking but glad I got out of my comfort zone for once
