By the way, I'm not much of a talkative person, and I got quite nervous when someone asked me to elaborate on my ideas on any topic. So the topic that I remember clearly was during my school days when I was just 15 years old and in my standard class. When the board exams were just a few months away, the principal decided to conduct a speech on the topic of time management for students while preparing and studying. As I secured the highest percentage in my board exams the previous year, I was chosen to shed light on this topic. Finally, I got confused and was not well prepared. I wondered whether I should go on or not. But one of my closest friends encouraged me to just do my best. I still recall that moment when I was going up to the stage; I was shivering and felt intimidated because, for the first time, I was going to address a huge number of people, including all the students from grades 9 to 12. My teachers and the principal were also present. I began my speech with my own personal routine, explaining how I divided my time between studies, recreation, and relaxation. To make it more relatable, I discussed some common problems like procrastination and last-minute studying, and then suggested some simple solutions, such as how to make an effective time schedule, setting small goals, and avoiding common distractions like social media and other social activities.
