Answer:
My hands were clamped up as I knew I was next to give my speech. I was the "social justice kid" and didn't understand why I was now being scared to speak up for what I believed.  I got up on the stand, took a deep breath and began speaking. 
My face felt hot from all the mistakes I was making while speaking. My hands started to fumble with the papers as I turned the page to continue my speech. My voice trembled for a second but soon turned back to confident when I noticed I was almost finished.
The audience got up and clapped for me. My shoulders relaxed knowing I didn't become that much of an embarrassment. I even had people come up to me and tell me how much of an amazing job I did.
I learned giving speeches seemed really scary at first, but with confidence, it becomes easier. I knew what I believed in and that was all that mattered. Oh, and of course, taking a deep breath made things easier!
