I am so excited for this weekend yet so scared.
I cudnt advice U..because I have no right to..I am just like you..so not only 14 yrs old..but also this 16 yrs old cud get fear while facing others..ok?
I'm not a JA, but I read your message and had to write you. I get real nervous, can't breath, and my mouth gets all funny (stiff) after years of speaking in front of the mike at public meetings. It helps so much if you realllly believe in what you are saying/doing and it sounds like you do!! I've put up a card table in front of our farmer's market and do great on a one-to-one basis with people. They come up and know what we will be talking about (Health cAre) or the like, so I give them fliers, encourage them to participate or whatever. It will be good to have your brother with you, so if you get scared you can just sink into the background. People appreciate that you care enough to do this!! Perhaps if you write down what you will be saying to the crowd and practice in front of a mirror and your family and friends you will feel confident you can 'do this'. feelingbetter
