Describe a time when you had to speak in front of an audience. What were your fears? How did you handle them? What advice would you give to someone struggling with stage fright?

 There was a time when I had to present a math project in front of my class, and I was nervous. Standing up in front of everyone, knowing they were all going to listen and judge my work, made me feel anxious. My heart raced, and I kept worrying about messing up or forgetting something important. One of my biggest fears was not being able to explain the project clearly and getting confused in the middle of it. But as I started talking, I focused on taking deep breaths and reminding myself that I knew the material well. I broke my presentation into small parts and spoke slowly, making sure to explain each step. By the end of it, I felt a sense of relief. My advice to anyone struggling with stage fright is to remember that it's okay to be nervous, and it's normal to feel that way. Focus on your breathing, take one step at a time, and trust that you’ve prepared. The audience is there to support you, not judge you, so try to enjoy the experience and be confident in what you know.
