Succeeded in a presentation today I had to present some readings with a partner today is my discussion class. I wasn't too nervous (which I can't tell if that was good or bad). I read off of my laptop and I did stutter, of course, but for the most part I was clear and people understood. I wasn't really looking at people and really wasn't analyzing anything. Afterwards, people clapped and I sat down. Later when I worked with a different partner, he commented how great I did on the presentation. I told him thanks and mentioned my stutter, and he said it didn't really show. ​ I am so happy about this. I believed in myself, and I did it! Hope this inspires people.
