Doing a speech in Eng 101.

Doing this speech in class was probably one of the scariest things I've ever done in my life. I don't understand why I was so nervous. I know everyone in our class and I enjoy talking to them all. I can go to a motocross race with tens or thousands of people and talk to them all and have to talk for interviews and I would never get nervous, but something about being graded and judged just makes me feel all weird. It wasn't too bad but defiantly enough to make me scared and very nervous about messing up or sounding stupid in front of my classmates. I know now after taking this class that I need to take a speech class to better my speeching skills in front of class mates. I know out at races or anything out side of a school setting I am amazing when it comes to speeches and talking but inside a class room setting there's nothing going for me there. All in all my speech went better then was I expected and my classmates played a big part by helping me relax.
