Off topic

Ok, so I know that this is really off topic but I really have to talk about this and this is as good a place as any. Ok, so next year, with me being in year 11, we can go for house captains. I avoid public confrontation, hide in the shadows and in no way like public speaking or being the centre of attention so why did I put my name down to be house captain??

I think that my p.e. teacher should have taken up debating because he is very good at persuading me to do things. So, after I said that I would try, I found out that two of the most popular and sporty girls in my year were also trying out for captain. Not that I'm not sporty, because I am a bit, but I feel that I'm going to be publically humiliated in front of my house and then be too embarrassed to compete in any of the school sports. I don't know? Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but I don't like being the centre of attention let alone have any attention at all. The thing about it that most freaks me out is that I have to do a  speech about why I should be house captain in front of my house and I am absolutely terrified of public speaking. 

Do you have a fear of public speaking or anything else? Please share…
