Are you comfortable presenting?

I am astounded by the people who can present their works to a room full of people. It simply amazes me when someone boldy saunters to the front of a class and confidently reads his or her paper aloud. I absolutely detest having others read/ hear my writing.... I'm very self- consious about what I write. To paraphrase Gilmore Girls: writing is like a love affair, you don't want to let other people in on it. Additionally, when I have to present a paper and I see the 20 pairs of eyes peering up at me I feel queasy, and I tend to stutter. Those who are comfortable presenting in front of their peers deserve a round of applause.... not everyone can do what they can.
