The day I won over my Fear

It was Teacher’s Day. We students had to deliver a speech on the occasion or recite poetry. Although I wanted to thank my teachers, I was hesitant to speak in front of people as I suffered from stage fright.
The desire in me to thank my teachers for their efforts in mentoring us was overwhelming. They give us their time, their energy. This realization took me up to the stage, and the words began to pour out from my heart!
I thanked our teachers profusely, prayed for them, and wished them well.
What followed was a thunderous applause. The feeling was overpowering!
I didn’t have to feel nervous, after all!
