Our school has a weekly “Parents View” program. Around four years ago, I 　36 a call from the headmaster to come to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. After the call I became very nervous and anxious. Many 　37 thoughts were coming. One of them was to call the headmaster with 　38 and tell him that I could not come. 　39 , I gathered some courage. I thought, 　40 I missed this opportunity, surely the school would never 　41 me again to any of their programs. So, I 　42 to go and speak.

When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went 　43 . I wasn’t even able to read the written speech 　44 . I was not 　45 of where I was standing and what I was reading.

After my speech, I met with the headmaster and 　46 what happened to me. He told me that this happened to everyone. Even great 　47 faced the same things when they started. He 　48 that I come again.

I prepared a topic of talk for the next occasion. This time I was somehow comfortable but not very confident. Afterwards, I met with the headmaster again and told him about the 　49 I felt I had made. He was 　50 enough to invite me again, but this time to give a 　51 to the teachers.

I prepared and practiced day and night. With the blessing of God, this went very well and was 　52 by the headmaster as well as the teachers because they knew where I started from. They encouraged and praised my 　53 .

After delivering this presentation successfully, I became 　54 . I learned that everything is possible if we have 　55 to take the first step.
