What Toastmasters<br />
Really Helped<br />
Me To Do…?<br />
I didn’t join Toastmasters to help<br />
me overcome my social anxiety- I didn’t<br />
even know Toastmasters would help me<br />
be more comfortable in a variety of social<br />
situations. I didn’t even realize how much<br />
my social anxiety had improved until<br />
recently. I reflected on what changed and<br />
that is when I realized, that what changed<br />
was me, was Toastmasters.<br />
When I started Toastmasters, I felt<br />
really uncomfortable talking about<br />
myself. I was confident in my abilities but<br />
I was still uncomfortable being me. Not<br />

The first speech project in Toastmasters<br />
is a speech about ourselves. I wrote and<br />
rewrote and rewrote that speech. And<br />

finally, I hurriedly crafted my speech together the night<br />
before, because I just couldn’t figure out what to say<br />
about me.<br />
As I continued in Toastmasters’ I discovered, with the<br />
support and encouragement of my club, that I gave the<br />
best speeches when I was genuine, honest, and %100<br />
Chamudhi. That’s right, people actually like me for being<br />
me. The encouragement and motivation from my fellow<br />
Toastmasters gave me confidence to keep trying new<br />
things. The best thing I have gained from Toastmasters is<br />
making many wonderful friendships with the people in our<br />
club. Our members are from a diversity of professions,<br />
countries, ages, and life experience. Public speaking<br />
and leadership skills are essential for our personal and<br />
professional lives. Toastmasters are an effective and fun<br />
way to develop these skills.<br />
DON’T WASTE TIME<br />
Gav. Reem Nasar<br />
Time is very important and it is<br />
limited. We should allways strive to make<br />
the best use of it.<br />
Time is not gold or money to buy, a student who thinks I will study the next day & neglects<br />
when it’s lost. Time is more than money doing so, will suffer during exams & in the future. So<br />
or gold, it cannot be stored either. Once friends we still have time to go. Time management is a<br />
time is passed, it cannot be brought foundation to your successful future.<br />
back by anyone. Time is very important Punctuality, also is a part of time management. A<br />
& valuable because nothing can stop or person who understands the importance of time will<br />
replace time. However some people don’t practice punctuality in life. A person who is not punctual<br />
realize the value of time. If we waste time will find it difficult to finish his duties. For example,<br />
now, it will spoil our future because our students must go to school at the right time, being<br />
future is in our own hands. If we want a punctual. The future is unseen and it is true that nobody<br />
successful life then we should not waste can forecast the future. So we must work hard today to<br />
our time. Time management is a very be better in the future, we should use our time properly.<br />
important factor for success. If anybody If you see some successful people, they made the<br />
