      You

      ~
      need
      never
      have
      spoken
      in
      public
      before.
      Give
      us
      a
     
     
      try
      -
      we
      all
      have
      to
      start
      somewhere.
     
    

    
     
      The
      ability
      to
      speak
      well
      in
      public
      is
      a
      definite
     
     
      asset
      in
      many
      courses
      and
      programs
      at
      university.
      It
      is
     
     
      also
      a
      valuable
      skill
      to
      many
      potential
      employers.
      So
     
     
      why
      not
      take
      a
      couple
      of
      hours
      or
      so
      a
      week
      to
     
     
      improve
      yourself
      in
      a
      very
      important
      area,
      and
      gain
      a
      a
     
     
      skill
      that
      is
      an
      asset
      to
      any
      educated
      person.
      Don’t
     
     
      sell
      yourself
      short
      -
      you
      can
      do
      it!
      All
      it
      takes
      is
      the
     
     
      determination
      to
      learn
      to
      conquer
      your
      fear
      of
     
     
      speaking
      before
      an
      audience.
