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.
well in my opinion a turning piont is a turning in the whole story so yes it could change the person but its most likely that they would have to make an effort sooooooooooooo no ig
