You always need an optimistic mentality when you are in a presentation, because you become whatever you tell yourself, so never think about failure. Fears are very common in people, yet different for everyone, and overcoming them is a huge challenge but, as I'm scared of presentations I need to practice to get better at them and to be comfortable with them, eliminating nerves. When you are terrified you shouldn't think about what terrifies you, because if you do it casually and you believe in yourself you will succeed. The fear of failing and not trying stops anyone from achieving what they want in life, but if you are strong and overcome your fears you can keep moving to complete your goals.
After deciding that we were doing the TED TALKS in front of the school, I freaked out. I'm not comfortable at all speaking in front of people mainly because I'm sacred that my mind goes blank and that the public doesn't laugh when needed. I don't like the idea at all, and I'm extremely nervous about the day were we will have to present, but through this huge fear and stressing moment I learned a really true lesson
