Note: This was a totally cool experience. I spoke to a crowd of 20 strangers, with no podium and without notes. I was evaluated by a panel of 5 Toastmasters. Before my speech, my chin shivered uncontrollably a few times, my handwriting was shaky and my knees felt weak once or twice. It was so cool!!!
