In the beginning I was very nervous. After a few tries, I think it's normal to me as long as I try my best.
I enjoy having the whole stage to myself and I get to talk. (When you're) on stage you get to talk, you get all the ears. You don't get 'shh!' but you'll get applause!
Be confident! If you don't make it on your first try, just keep going and keep participating, until you can do it! Don't give up on that.
