How Speech and Debate Improved My Communication Skills.

Introduction

As juniors, we used to watch our seniors walk confidently onto the stage for their speeches during morning assembly. It was a fascinating, thrilling, and very exciting scene that we used to enjoy. As a child and a student, I used to hope they would deliver as long a speech as possible, hoping it would cut down even a tiny portion of time from our class periods. Maybe it was just a normal childhood instinct to avoid studies back then, or a child's innocence. Whatever it was, the moment they stepped forward, a quiet curiosity would take over. How would they perform? Would they captivate the audience, or would their nervousness slow them down? Nobody exactly knew what would happen, and perhaps that uncertainty was what made those moments so exciting. Yet while I was busy counting the minutes they were saving us, I never realized that one day I would be standing on that same stage myself. 

Journey

That day arrived sooner than I expected.

My first experience on a stage came shortly after I entered Grade 4. In our school, students only started participating in the morning assembly after reaching that grade. As fate would have it, my name, Aabiskar, starts not only with the letter A, but with two A's. Since students were assigned their turns alphabetically, there was virtually no escaping my turn.

Within the very first week of school, I found myself standing where I had seen countless seniors stand before me. The same stage. The same audience. The same feeling of hundreds of eyes looking in my direction. Just that this time, I felt like I was leading all of them. It was my voice that everyone was waiting to hear. To my surprise, the speech went far better than I had imagined. The nervousness that had followed me onto the stage slowly disappeared as I continued speaking. I grew comfortable with the speech, and that nervousness turned into confidence and a leading energy. That was the moment I discovered the spark of leadership communication and public speaking within me. When I finished, I was welcomed by applause from teachers and fellow students. Some of my teachers praised my confidence and fluency, while my friends excitedly congratulated me afterward.

As a fourth grader, those words meant a lot more than I realized at the time. Walking back to my place, I felt like a hero. It may have been just a few minutes on a school stage, but for me, it was the moment I discovered a confidence I never knew I had.

Journey Continues

What I did not realize at the time was that those few minutes on stage would have an impact far beyond that morning assembly. The speech ended, but the impression it left behind remained. Teachers remembered me, classmates began to recognize me, and slowly, people started expecting good things from me whenever speaking opportunities arose. Initially those expectations felt like a burden which was intimidating and added pressure to me. For a fourth grader, being seen as a “confident speaker” created a quiet pressure to always perform well, to always be prepared, and to always live up to that image. It was both motivating and intimidating simultaneously. This growing sense of awareness made me more conscious of myself, my image, my behavior, and the way I expressed myself in front of others. Even at a young age, I could clearly feel that I was no longer just speaking for myself; I was speaking with expectations attached to me. 

As the saying goes, time teaches all things for the better. Gradually, I began to reframe this pressure not as a burden, but as a form of guidance that compelled  me to prepare better and perform with more awareness. What once felt intimidating slowly started to feel like an opportunity to grow. It was nothing, but just a slight change in perspective but so powerful; enough to change the mindset and your position completely. 

Through this shift in perspective, I understood two important lessons. First, pressure is not always something negative; when approached correctly, it can act as a force that prevents complacency and always encourages gradual progress . And Second, even a small shift in mindset can significantly change how you perceive your own abilities and how you respond to situations around you.

(Till now i have completed this much n alot is still pending but i just wanted to take feedbacks so...)

I’ve been hearing that Adelaide is better for international students because of lower costs and easier access to part-time jobs.

For those currently in Australia, especially Nepalis, how difficult is it actually to find a part-time job in Adelaide compared to Sydney or Melbourne?

I’m planning to study and eventually move to Australia, and I want to hear the real, unfiltered experiences of Nepalis already living there.

What has been the biggest challenge for you?
The greatest problem the biggest one.
