For my first-year seminar I had to speak at Chapel.  Our class presented "Our Vision of America".  My complete vision can be seen on my written expression link.
In this presentation I had to read a paragraph that I wrote in this paper to the entire Chapel audience.  I was not a big fan of doing this, but I had to, so I did.  With my friends, even in big groups, I like to speak.  But when I am on center stage, I just don't like it.  This is a bit strange to me, since I love to perform.  But I just don't like to read aloud, so Chapel presentation was not one I enjoyed.
I have also given many presentations in classes.  I feel more comfortable when I give these than when I did Chapel, but it still is not something I enjoy very much, unless I am talking about something I feel very knowledgeable of.
