Stop hiding, just do it (2) As said in the last post I've shared, this week i had a presentation, it was on yesterday (Wednesday 26Feb to be specific), So it wasn't a presentation it was more like giving a full lecture in participating with 2 more students. So, the one week before the presentaion I got into the mood, when i got home I sat and I told myself that "I will not do the easiest part No, I will not hide not anymore, I will neither ask the dr to avoid giving a lecture as the rest of the students nor choosing the easiest part of the slides to teach" .. No i agrees with myself that this time will be different for me. I immediately turned on my PC and i prepared the whole lecture, and for the rest of the week i prepared what I'm gonna say (after all i do stutter so it won't go just by lying to my mind) so yeah i prepared my words and the teaching part was the easiest part, the hardest one was how will i stutter less? how will i control my breath? how do i back on the track when the a 'blocks' start hitting? I did everything i could do (not to stop it, but to reduce it at least). When the day came, I agreed with my fellows that i will take the first part which includes the introduction and part of the lesson we prepared (which for me and for every stutterer the most difficult thing to do which is introducing). Once i stepped to the class and stood infront of nearly 38 person I'mnot gonna lie I even though I felt scared and anxious, I started. "Hi, good morning everyone, hope your was good. Today will be discussing....." and I started giving the lecture, I tried my best to deliver the idea included with some examples which is long to solve but I solved it anyway cuz I liked the atmosphere where everyone is silent listening to you. Yes, I stuttered. No, I couldn't resist the blocks. Yes, I felt scares and felt the pressure. But at the end I did it, I had one of the best experiences. ( and lastly, I have to mention that through the week, I participated a lot in my classes, I talked a lot to my friends, I called them back, and I even did one of the nightmares for us I ordered from many restaurants through the week ). I think the next task is to work on my storytelling skills Lol
