A teacher and student discuss the student's strengths in math and school, then talk about stage fright. The student describes physical symptoms: racing heart, shaking, and sweaty palms when speaking in front of large audiences.
School.
Huh? That's one of your strengths. You're good at school.
Math.
I think you don't enjoy math, but you're pretty decent at math.
Doing a speech or talking in front of lots of people.
Do you know what it's called when you're kind of afraid of being on stage and giving speeches or presentations?
Stage fright.
Exactly. You have stage fright. What happens when you have stage fright?
My heart beats fast.
Your heart races. You get shaky, sweaty palms.
Little bit.
