Ack, I feel sick

I have a presentation to do for my class tonight. I have to teach my class a chapter of the book. Now, this shouldn't be a big deal, cause I'm going to school to be a teacher and I'm not afraid of being up in front of people. But I am soooo nervous, I can't get any other work done, and I have some serious butterflies in my belly. I guess I'm nervous because I am teaching my class how to be better teachers, and heck, I don't know that much about it, I'm still learning too! Of course, like an idiot, I had to volunteer to go first, so hopefully my teacher will be kind, and my classmates will support me. Please pray for me cause I'm sooo nervous!

Since I am going to college for the same thing, I can share sympathy. First thing is to don't worry. If you're going to be a teacher then you will have to learn how to talk to a group of people. Second thing is I am sure you know the people in your class. Unless you go to a big University or something. Bottom line is if they know you, then they will support you. Plus I am pretty sure that they will treat you the same way they want to be treated. Third thing is going first is so much better. I always went last and found it to be bad. When you are waiting to go last then you aren't learning from what the other presenters are saying. This is because you are worried about what you are gonna say or do. So go first so you can pay attention better to what others say.

Thanks Mr. Cheese, I did it tonight and it went really well!

I'm glad to hear it went well

Honestly it does get easier with time. I am not a teacher per se although I am a first aid trainer. I used to get really nervous before taking classes as well, but you get used to it. You may even start to enjoy it , I hope you do if you are going to spend the next 30 years or so doing it

Good Luck
