My heart-throbbed like crazy. It was such a nerve-wrecking
feeling just minutes before starting the debate. The Euthanasia group was
presenting the debate that day. I was in the against team along with 4 other
members: Niousha, Darren, Karen and Rawha. To be honest, I consider myself to
be a horrible speaker. I have only debated once during my foundation year. And
that was atrocious as well.
The affirmative team went first. I was the 6th
speaker of the whole debate. And I totally chickened out just listening to the
other team’s speech. They were so intimidating. They were so confident and I
shook in fear.
I have practiced my speech a couple of times back at home.
And when I recorded it, it took six minutes. But then, when I spoke it out
loud, it only took 2 and a half minutes! I was in shock. Each speaker was given
a limit of 5 minutes to speak and I just took half the limited time.
Anyway, after my turn was done, I felt the hugest relieve of
my life. It felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off. That was such an
amazing feeling!
However, the difference about my team and the other team was
that I felt that the other team was more organized in a way that they had
looked at out points first before the debate and that was why they could rebut
every point we said. And not to mention their confidence in speaking.
But, basically, I am so glad I have overcome the fear of
speaking in front. And fingers crossed on the grade.
Later on in the evening, went to Ci Lily's birthday bash! But before that, we grabbed something orange for her.
