When I was in grade 4 or 5 and had to do a public speaking speech thing in front of the school, I was SO nervous and did such a bad job, I was so embarrassed.

But when I graduated from D.A.R.E. and had to write a speech, I read it very well. The lights were off, and I am WAY better doing things when I can't see the people.

As for in-class presentations, I'm alright at them. My class this year was small and knew me, my weirdness and all. I just did whatever, didn't get to worried about it.
