There was a time when I had to give a presentation in front of my class, and I was nervous. My hands were shaking, and I was afraid of forgetting what I had to say. I was also worried about making a mistake in front of everyone. To handle my fear, I made sure to breathe deeply to calm myself down. When I spoke, I focused on my notes and tried to look at someone I knew to feel more comfortable. My advice to someone who has stage fright would be to practice a lot, stay calm, and remember that everyone makes mistakes.
