Public Speaking Competition

Many people are afraid to speak specially in public. We all know that speaking can be a good asset in the industry that we’re going to choose. But how can we do that, if we are afraid in speaking? This question is the reason why APC launched several competitions which hones public speaking skills.

The public speaking competition was held yesterday (April 20, 2016) at the APC Auditorium. The contestants are grouped and took the elimination round at various rooms in APC. On the other hand, audience stay at the auditorium and played some games (something which are related with public speaking and debate)

I’m the one who supposed to join the debate but I was being substitute by my classmate. At first, I was very nervous and excited at the same time. But, then my classmates seems to lose their trust. I get their point, maybe I wasn’t look comfortable during that time. That moment I realized something and came up with a question “If you’re not going to trust yourself, then how can they trust you?”

After the games the participant in our block came back to the auditorium. Sad to say but they’ve been eliminated. As I listened to those contestants who passed the elimination round, I was able to understand the pressure that my classmate had been through. I also admit that those contestants are really good.

Anyway, there will always be a room for improvements. And tomorrow is another chance for us to bloom. Just like segregation, you should know the things which belong to past and the things which need focus for the present.
