about

Hey everyone!My name is Brina,I've been on this site for a few years, after not being on for a while, I figured I'd start up again, having more knowledge then before! I'm 19 years old and am going to be a sophomore in college this coming fall! Please feel free to ask me anything!


I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY WITH SCHOOL SO MY APOLOGIES IF I DON'T GET TO YOUR QUESTIONS RIGHT AWAY!

advice

I'm in nineth grade and I write songs and poetry.
I want to read a poem I wrote about my ex boyfriend in front of the whole school.

But the problem is, I get nervous easily.
I read it for my mom and I kept running out of breath and stopping. and when I was done reading, I was shaking.
If I can't read it in front of my mom, how can I read it to 3,000 people?

any advice on how I can overcome this?
I have always wanted to do this but I'm scared.
And I don't want to mess this up in front of everyone.

Hmm, I know how you feel! I have overcomed this by doing some simple things. First, continue reading it to your mom, until you have it down comfortably. Then, get a group of friends to sit and listen, then go up to somone that you don't really know well, and ask them if you can read it to them, to help you out with your nervousness, they probably will be very helpful with it and not mind at all. Continue to do these things, and when you feel comfortable, you should be able to do it in front of the school. Don't be scared to share something from your heart, if they don't like it, oh well, if they do, thats great. Hope I helped! Good Luck!
