Chapter 331 First Assembly Speech (1/2)

Thus, with Kyle not in the picture, it meant that the speech normally given by him after the Principal, fell on Beatrice's shoulders.

This was the second reason why Beatrice was nervous.

She felt it was ridiculous, though, because speaking to the students was something she had been doing ever since her appointment. Yet, each time, she would find herself getting butterflies in her stomach and her heart beating fast.

She should already be used to all of this, right?

Beatrice looked out at the crown again and patted her chest.

”Just imagine them naked,” Sam said suddenly.

Beatrice turned to look at him in shock and Sam smiled. Something he did quite often since Samty (Samuel + Betty. Horrible couple naming, but it somehow just stuck).

”It's said to alleviate your nervousness when having to do public speaking,” Sam explained.

Beatrice blinked rapidly, her face slightly red and Sam laughed a bit under his breath at this, ”Okay, maybe that technique is a bit too advanced for you.”

He indicated the crowd with his chin and said, ”Focus on the people that you're familiar with. Choose at least three that are situated around so that it would be obvious. They won't know that you're looking at them unless you stare too intently, of course. Move your eyes around as well, rotating differently between those that you chose.”

”This method works if it's a familiar setting. When it's a new place, choose faces that you can identify with,” Sam continued, ”For the ones that are very close, do not look at their faces but at their chest, because you'd be more nervous otherwise. Don't look at those that aren't listening or looking at their phones. Their inattentiveness will only fluster you further. Focus on those that give off a positive vibe.”

Beatrice looked at Sam with wide eyes.

Never before had Sam actually spoken so much and he was giving her such valuable tips on public speaking.

”Thank you, Samuel,” Beatrice said to him and he gave her a smile, nodding.

”You'll be fine,” he said and though Beatrice was still ultra nervous, those simple, confident words calmed her down immensely.

Sam walked off then and she looked at his strong back leaving, sighing a bit.

What a pity.
