I have always wondered what if I decided to take up stand up comedy. I am quick on my feet but I do not do well in front of crowds. I remember in middle school they required us to do a presentation in front of every class in my grade level and I told them at the time the assignment was given that I was not doing that and would be happy to write out my presentation. They said I couldn’t do that and had to present. Whenever the day came they called my name to come up I told them I wasn’t presenting. They must have thought I was joking but I legitimately do not do well with public speaking like that. I can carry on conversations with people in small groups but there is just something about speaking in large crowds that makes me want to crawl into a hole.

I used to be extremely quiet when I was a kid, my parents thought something was wrong with me, and I had no interest in public speaking. But, obviously that wouldn't do well with the profession, so just had to force myself. Now, I have no problem at all, and in fact I'm like a clown/comedian in class because it's the best way to keep students interested, if they don't want to miss obnoxious comments you sprinkle in.

They picture the audience naked. You could think about The Dugout crew naked. That would scare the nerves right out of you. 😳

Connor Mcdavid is about to cement his name among the greats!
All he needed was a cup and if he gets one by coming back from 0-3, his legacy is entrenched.

Connor will never get the credit he deserves playing for Edmonton.

I guarantee it's rough being compared to Mark Messier and the Great One all the time.

And the Panthers will go down in history and cement their place as the only team to ever lose a Stanley Cup final after being up 3-0.

Weird year in MLB, all these injuries to star players and the Divisions aren't very close except A.L. East..

Yeah it’s pretty sad. The level of play is taking a hit imo because these elite players are missing. At least Mookie will be back this season. Not as devastating as the season ending injuries.
