For my entire life, somehow, I have never given a speech or performed solo on a stage.
The reason why although I have had opportunities is that I can be quite shy in front of people. My confidence levels drop to extremely low levels when it was offered. None of my siblings except one had done public speaking in any forum. In high school, I tried it in the oratory arts team but failed.
For those who are able to stand up in front of an audience to give a speech or to perform solo, you have my admiration and respect.
Yours Truly,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
