Excerpt
I had the feeling of deadly eyes staring at that one trickle of sweat rolling down my forehead. I wanted to throw up because so many butterflies were flying in my stomach. I had that dreadful thought of seeing people throw tomatoes at my pretty dress. I always thought that public speaking was the scariest experience anyone could go through. I never imagined that the words I said could make an audience cry, laugh, or even become angry. But this inconceivable picture came true.
