Last term, I tried out for the school’s speech contest. I practiced my speech every night for a week, but I was so nervous on stage that I forgot my lines. I felt so embarrassed—all my classmates were looking at me, and I ran off the stage quickly. After that, I was really disappointed. I thought my hard work was a waste, and I even didn’t want to speak in public again. But my teacher told me, “Failure is a part of life.” She encouraged me to keep trying. So I joined the school’s speech club. I read aloud every morning to practice my voice, and I practiced my speeches in front of the club members. Now, I’m not scared of speaking in public anymore.
