Essay / Research Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. I walked up to the podium, notes in hand, ready to conquer the crowd of five hundred people that eagerly waited for what I had to say. The topic was one with which I was intimately familiar and had been immersed in for most of my life, so there was no danger of confusing the facts or misspeaking on the data.

The writer recounts a harrowing public speaking experience and how it was addressed to improve for future speaking engagements. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
