I've never been a good public speaker. As a kid, I used to recite poems
brilliantly to my parents, but as soon as it came to my class, I was a stuttering mess. 
A few days ago, I enrolled in a debate competition, hoping it would finally help me overcome my fear of public and crowds. oh, how wrong I was. 
The topic given to us was fairly arguable and I was against the motion, 'Why School Uniforms Should be Removed from School' I began my point fairly well, but then my eyes began to scan over the crowd and the room became smaller and smaller, and I felt claustrophobic. Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead, and I continuously wiped my forehead and my hands on the hem of my skirt, my eyes wearily glancing around the room. I turned around to look at my team-mates and the opposite team, all of them looking at me with concern. I took a deep breath and tried to continue speaking, but all that came out was a small squeak followed by a whimper. I felt so ashamed to stand there during those moments, as tears pooled my eyes, ready to slide down. I composed myself as best as I could, trying to finish my point, which came out like a stutter, but I finally got it through. 
The teacher and judges looked un-impressed, which caused the tears to pool in even more, making it difficult for me to see clearly. I turned around from the podium and walked towards my seat, sitting down with tears sliding down my red cheeks. I wiped them away with shaking hands, before taking another deep breath to calm my erratic heart. In that moment I had decided, never again. Never again am I going for public speaking or debates, never again am I going to speak on topics in Public in front of people who could potentially decide my future.

This isn't in the proper format, you can add the format on your own, since I don't know which format you have been taught, it can be different.
