Title: My First Speech on Stage
Topic: Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken or eithical dilemmayou have faced on its impact on you.

I have faced many significant experiences in my life, but there is one that changes my life and makes me a stronger and a courageous person. I am a person who hates to give speeches and perform in front of many peopel because I get really scraed and nervous and always mess up on what I have to do. I once had a stage experience that made me so scared to face the stage again.

However I was ten years old when I was chosen to give a speech in front of hundreds to students, some youngerand some older than me.It was a competition between different schools and I was one of the students representing my school. At that time I was trying really hard to memorize my speech and not to bungle it. In my early life, I always get stage fright, nervous and usually shiver when I have to perform in front of many people.

That day finally came and I had to stand infront of hundreds of students giving my speech. I got so timid I forget the words I had to say. I was so embarrasses because my teacher who was behind me had to whisper and remind me what to say. I got so nervous, I felt my face turing hot and my legs were shaking. It was one of those experiences I had and would never forget, but that wasn;t the worse part of it. The worse part of that day was our competition being on the news.

Ever since that day, I'm always scared to perform it front of many people because I always think I would mess up againand I knew that wasn't the end of it and a day like that would come again. However a few years later I had to perform at my church concert b y doing a motion dance and I really didn't want to mess it up. I wanted everything to turn out perfect. However although I was scared and nervous, I tried to my best to make it perfect and do my best performance in this dance because I wanted to overcome my fear and nervousness. I didn't want to be embarrassed again in front of so many people.

Although I was nervous while doing my dance, it did turn out exactly the way I wanted it to be. And after the concert, I've got so many complements about how beautiful my performance was. I was proud of myself and from that day on, I realize that whenever I need to perform on stage or give speeches front of many people, I need to give it my best shot, stand strong and hope that everything will turn out great.
