Does this question refers to the article "Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?" by Nina Totenberg. Because if so here's something to help with.

In this article, Totenberg discusses whether life in prison is too harsh a punishment for juvenile killers. The author does not take a position on this matter, and instead focuses on presenting arguments that describe both sides of the question. The main purpose of the author is to encourage readers to think about the subject because legislation needs to be passed soon, and this is a difficult question that deserves consideration. She shows how important this matter is when she says:

"Two years ago, the court used the same rationale when it struck down the penalty of life without parole for nonhomicide crimes committed by juveniles. But in Tuesday's cases, the court faces the question of life without parole in homicide cases... the big question before the Supreme Court on Tuesday is whether life without the possibility of parole is itself an unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment when it is applied to juveniles."

you have still not forgotten the day when you made your first public speech.Recall the change in your personality as you overcom
Naily [24]

Answer:

THE DAY I MADE MY FIRST PUBLIC SPEECH

I still remember vividly the day i stood in front of over 1000 students from different schools, teachers, parents to give a speech on behalf of our science club.  terrified is an understatement. i was literary shaking. at first i had refused because i had phobia for crowds. but encouragement from friends and family kept me going and regardless i made up my mind to face my fears and deliver the speech. i took in all the advise i had been given, practiced in the mirror and there i was ready to take the challenge heads on. i was supposed to be third to give my speech, and when the second speaker was called, i knew i was finished. i excused myself to go for a short call haha. it was not easy but i was going to do it anyway. when my turn reached, i stood up, opened my paper and there i was, talking and giving my speech. when i finished for a moment i couldn't believe i was the one who had just given a speech. that experience changed my personality for the better. i got to learn that fear is just an imagination of something which does not even exist. since then my public speaking skills have gone a notch higher. i am good at it and i do not hesitate whenever an opportunity presents itself.

I hope it helps!!!!!!!!!
