Transforming Fear into Confidence 

I always think about how can I overcome my fear in public speaking. In grade 10, when I first joined the festival of talent (read-A-tone) in Cebuano Elementary School. I was afraid during that time because I thought I was not smart enough and my voice was not too loud like my competitors. And I got felt embarrassed when I made a mistakes and I am afraid to speak in fron of wider audience.

Before my competition, I thought if I can do it. the first thing that came to my mind is to give up, because I had a mixed emotions that I don't know how to hold it. My Coach approached me because she observed that I was nervous and she already knew, I am not comfortable. I was the next to present, and before I went to the stage my coach said that "boy, I know you can, just keep on your mind that no matter what happens I am proud of you." with that message from my coach made me realized that I have nothing to worry about my performance and it helped me to boost my confidence and thankfully I finished it successfully, and I got the third spot. Unexpectedly.

Therefore, with that experience made me realized that we have nothing to worry about ourselves unless we are confident and know about what we are doing. Also, I realized that fear is always there to bother you, but to overcome it you must have a positive mind. And to those who are afraid in public speaking, just keep it trying, and do your best, and don't mind what other people say to you, and just focus and believe in yourself, always remember that God has a perfect timing and the best a plan for you.
