I’ve had this problem since I can remember… :( In my last oral presentation I did well, but my teacher told me I need to speak louder. Teachers have always told me this but they never tell me how…I have another oral presentation tomorrow and I have to focus on speaking loud! Which is normal to everyone else. When I try it sounds so unnatural to me and like I’m yelling..I feel like I’m straining my voice..To me I speak loud enough but apparently I don’t. How will I know if I’m speaking loud enough? I can’t tell.

How I did it: I went to the bank to open a student account. I talked to a very friendly associate, and now I have a checking account and a savings account, and a debit card =] Now I have a safe place for my grant money and I can start saving for the move next year. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Since listing this as a goal, it's been accomplished pretty fast...but I've realized that in a matter of days I'm doing better. I hope I can stay optimistic. I just sort of snapped out of it, finally.I just told myself to be happier about life because I've recently gotten out of a really bad situation, which I thought would never happen. That alone is reason for renewed hope. So even though I'm not where I want to be yet, I'm in a much be… Read how I did it…
i need to gain self-confidence, but i also need to show more humility when others disagree with me…and rid myself of this feeling of i deserve better and i’m so above this, because it shows and i didn’t even realize.
i just don’t know how to find a balance between humility and self-confidence. i’m a contradiction. i am working on having more confidence in myself, so that i don’t fall apart around others. in social situations i feel like such an outsider, i just want to hide within myself and i feel so small. but when it’s all done and i’m back home alone, inside i feel too good for some people and some things. and when i do speak up i speak out of resentment and i guess i appear like i’m entitled to everything…
:(
i pride myself in being open minded but i am a hypocrite. this is really hard for me to admit and put out there. i need to show more acceptance, and more friendliness to people, especially to views completely different than mine and listen to them, even if i think they are wrong or speaking nonsense.
