Personal Challenge

At first, I had a hard time deciding what my personal challenge was going to be for this semester. As i thought more and more about it, the farther I was from making a decision. Then, went I went home one weekend, something fell into my lap.

I went by my church to drop off something for a friend, and my youth minister stopped me and asked if I would mind sharing my college experience so far with the congregation one week during mass. I hesistated at first, because I really dislike public speaking, but then I realized that this could be my personal challenege. 

The next time I went home, I stood up before everyone at church on Sunday and made a short speech about the good and bad times I have had at USC so far. I was extremely nervous, but I got through it. Now I feel like I could speak in front of thousnads of people, where as before I had a hard time even standing up in a classroom and making a presentation.
