I recently joined a workshop, in my college- a public
speaking course. I was told by my political science teacher, to join the course,
which would help me in the long run. Initially, I was extremely happy and curious.
But then the wind blew in a different direction. Indeed, it is a very good
workshop, organized by experienced people. The only thing, which disappoints me,
is the schedule. HA HA! I am a lazy girl. As per the time table of my
college, “Thursdays and Sundays “, are the non working days. Despite this, I have
to attend this course on every Thursdays. This is the month of April, really
hot in Calcutta. Under this scorching heat, I have to travel. Tomorrow (10th
of April, 2014), I have to make a prepared speech on “Eve Teasing “. From the morning
till now, I had to mug up the entire speech, just for inspiring them. On the other hand, it’s very interesting to
note that, I am overcoming my stage fright and now I can face the audience with
confidence. The motive is not to win a match, but to learn and experience. So
that I can understand my mistakes and know from it.
A tough call is
coming at the end of the session, which is the main showcase on 26th
of April. . A show, where all the parents,
relatives and friends of each student’s, will come to see our performance. For the first time, in my life, I am getting
an opportunity to take a part in a competition. I am excited as well as tense
to face this tough call. I hope, with full confidence, I can give a speech,
which would inspire each and every person in the audience. Specially my family
and relatives.
Finally I got what I wanted to achieve. The show case went
very well and at the end, I got a trophy, for outstanding improvement in public
speaking. My parents and relatives were amazed
and since then, I believe that, anything which you want to achieve is easy to
get, only if you work hard.
