One thing that really bothered me is my presentation skills in front of my peers. I was extremely nervous and shaky when I had to present, I begin to sweat, my face turns bright red, and I just feel like a mess at the end of it. Being a college student was nerve-wrecking enough, but looking like an idiot in front of your peers during a 10 minute presentation was even worse.
So i began looking into different ways that I can simulate a real-life presentation. I began researching on what tools I can have in order to help me practice and hopefully make me less nervous in front of my peers, and I came to see that if I can simulate a presentation as the best as I can I can do it!
I came up with a list of things that is there while I am presenting, and I began to check off the things that I had and didn't have: computer, projector, teacher, students. I had a computer, I had my roomates (students) and I had my big brother (teacher). All I needed was a projector to practice my presentations.
I began to look into projectors that were cheap, and I came across a M2 projector from Amazon. It was a lot cheaper than most projectors, it's easy to use, convenient, and it was basically a replica of my projector that I used at school (but smaller). I began using this to practice, and I found out after several times practicing, it helped my nerves so much! I can really say that I have found a way to calm my nerves.
I just wanted to share with you guys my experience how much these tools have helped me with my presentations, and I hope it can help your nerves too!
