I actually do have pictures to post, but don't have the time to post them!
I am in my second class (that is number two of seventeen!!!) in school and have had to give two oral presentations. I suspect that we will have to do at least one in each class. I don't like giving oral presentations, but I can do it. I am able to look up and have good eye contact. I am able to read far enough ahead in my notes to make sense when I am looking up. I am able to smile and not get flustered by people paying too much or too little attention.
In my last class someone mentioned that I have a good speaking voice. I think all of this is because of our church. Like it, or not, I have been standing up and speaking in front of an audience since I was three years old. I also think that being in Primary for the last four years has really made me be able to get up and just wing it. To be able to pull a good spiritual thought out of my memory, or to be able to steer the conversation back the way it needs to go.
This is one of the MANY things that I am blessed with because of my membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I feel the same way!
Public speaking, leadership, and singing are skills that you learn weather you want to or not in the Church. I heard somewhere that the majority of people are more scared of public speaking than they are of dying.
