My fear is public speaking, specifically speaking in front of a large audience. I think it was a combination of factors, including a past experience where I had to give a presentation. This fear started to hold me back in various situations, making me avoid opportunities that involved public speaking. I think I really overcame that fear through PDS. PDS means post-dinner session. In the RB camp, all candidates must be present at any program each day. There were five groups, and the trainers marked our programs and put marks on our chart. At that time, I had many debates and anchoring opportunities. After that, we sang, danced, and performed dramas; we did everything for that. We implemented new ideas in the classroom. I think overcoming my fear of public speaking has been life-changing. It's given me the confidence to express myself, share my ideas, and connect with others more effectively. I believe I have been very successful in overcoming that fear. Otherwise, I couldn't teach my kids. They are very small, and we have to do dance, songs, and stories. If I had any fear, I couldn't do this. So now, I am very happy to do that.
