Prompt: 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?

I once had to give a 5-minute speech on current global issues. I was terrified feeling like the five minutes stretched on for hours. During the speech I experienced awkward pauses and stumbled over my words, which made me even more nervous. Afterward I was bombarded with questions adding to my anxiety. My advice to someone struggling with stage fright is to practice breathe deeply and remember that everyone makes mistakes
