I don't like talking in front of people

I thought I had things sorted out, last year I could talk in front of a large group of people and I was so happy! Finally, I had gotten out of my comfort zone and was ready to slay my peers into oblivion.

Well, on Tuesday we had to present a part of the cell for extra credit. I need it now more than ever because schoolwork has become too much for me, and the mental issues I'm having at the moment aren't making me think clearly. Plus, my body feels weak, I'd rather be asleep most of the day. It's a miracle I'm passing the rest of my classes.

When it was my time to present, I tried to talk, but nothing came out, I became anxious and started to shake with the little model I made of a lysosome still gripped in my hand. I had the paper where I wrote the facts for it, and I tried to read it but ended up stuttering even more. I looked at the girl beside me who looked at me as I presented and we smiled at each other awkwardly, I couldn't do it, so I just read the important functions of it and hoped that it was enough to get extra credit.

Thankfully I did get my extra credit! Now I'm passing with a 78. I wanna aim for an 80 now and not for 90-100 for my mental sake, but if I get somewhere there then hallelujah.
