its twenty minutes to the starting time,i stood shaking and trying to remember what i had crammed into my head.i felt nervous and i fidgetted with the debate booklet,my heart doing a mad race.my palms were sweaty. I felt like dashing out of the hall but i thought twice about it , i trusted my classmates.if i ran out of the hall i would be called a coward till the end of my days there as a student. I glanced at my wristwatch and i nearly urinated on my body,i scampered out of the hall towards the ladies,i pulled open the door and nearly screamed as i saw kehind my co-debator throwing up in the tiolet.
I stared at my shaking hands and shooked my head,my heart thumping wildly.
I glanced at my wristwatch it was five minutes to go.
Kehinde stubbornly refused to leave with me,she claimed she was not feeling fine.
I felt annoyed,as i walked towards the podium.i was cheered by my classmates,i saw some asking if i was the only one representing my class.
As i sat down on the seat provided i fixed my gaze on my sandals,i remianed that way till i was called...
Trust me,i got up and shakingly took the microphone,what happened next i couldnt tell,words poured out from my lips,the fear deserted me at the last minute.
Have you ever felt that way before?

My sister yes though I started the first 2 minutes poorly but I picked up by listening to myself it really helped me gain more confidence.
