Doing A Speech Today

[num1habsfan]

Eek, I have to do a speech and tell my whole story about Celiac anywhere between 1 - 2:10 pm (depending when our group goes up). Definitely feeling nervous about it...our topic was allergies, so it was actually the instructor who encouraged me to tell what its like living with this disease. I'm so nervous! a) I hate doing speeches and This is really the first chance I've ever had to speak about how it affects people!

I have been so busy that I just haven't had the time to tell everyone how it went.

It did go good, I was reallyyy nervous but my instructor thanked me about 3 or 4 times and said I was awesome for speaking about it.

The instructor was also my lifesaver: for the guest speaker, he purposely brought in a dietician who used to specialist in Celiac! I talked to her afterwards and she gave me the contact information on how to be referred to the person who is the Celiac specialist in Regina now . I'm very excited about that, didn't even know there was somebody who specialized in that area.

Congratulations on your great speech! You know, we never know where opportunity will meet us. Your teacher helping you meet someone who is going to help you meet someone else who can help you, is awesome. Good job on talking to your class about celiac, it is not easy to do.

Thank you! You're right, it was not easy to talk about it but it was my instructors idea to begin with. I wasn't going to, but he said people who know first-hand what it is like to live with a lot of allergies. All of the other groups told the techical and typical details that you'd find on the internet, but I was obviously able to give it a more personal touch and tell the information you won't find from any source.

I just seen my family doc yesterday so he said he'll send them a reference letter to see that dietician .

Good. Keep us informed, maybe you'll learn something there that one of us needs to know. That oppurtunity thing again.
