Someone shares their first public speaking moment: a college exam presentation where their hair curled from nerves and their dress shifted, but the audience barely noticed. They got an A and learned that people don't care as much as you think they do.
The first time I ever public spoke, dude, I was in college. I had to do this big exam and then you had to present your case. I got up there and I shit you not, I was so nervous. I had straight hair. By the time I came out, it was curled. My dress hit down to my waist. I was horrified. And then I went and sat down and my like lab partner was like, dude, you a little nervous? And then I just looked over and I was like, I guess I was a little nervous. And everyone laughed. And I was like, man, I was so nervous about looking nervous. But like, nobody gives a shit. They just moved on to the next person, and I survived, and I got an A.
