I’m the salutatorian of my high school and I need to do a graduation speech. The problem is, I am deathly afraid of speaking in front of people. I obtained some leadership roles at school to try and eliminate my fear, but those didn’t help much. I really want to do the speech but I am so so so scared of stuttering or stumbling over my words in front of thousands of people. Even the thought of having that much attention on me gives me a lot of anxiety. Any advice? Should I just give the opportunity to third place? Thank you
