First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on the pastry school. Second, YOU ARE GOING TO BE FINE!!!! This is what I did, my first and last name both start with a "P". I practiced saying my name every day for 2 hours. After a week of saying my name for 2 hrs (straight) every day, it became BORING. On the first day of orientation for a work class, It was my turn to introduce myself and guess what..............there was no more fear, no more anxiety, ..........to me it was just another boring thing I had to do AND I DID IT. I desensitized myself and retrained my brain. I also used this technique to help me with the telephone. YOU have such power within yourself, just tap into it. Remember that PRACTICE doesn't make PERFECT, PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT. YOU GOT THIS AND I'M IN YOUR CORNER CHEERING YOU ON!!!!!! You don't know me and I don't know you but I AM PROUD OF YOU in this new exciting endeavor. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
