Being naturally shy when it comes to speaking in front of a crowd, it was a driving force of motivation in order to improve my public speaking skills and presentating style this project . Through this project , i was again amazed by those people who actually presented well in their presentation ,And of course i knew that i could not still be somebody who i was that time , i must learn to speak properly , be more confident so i could overcome this weakness . And through the help of my teammate , i fully understood pratice make perfect. Somehow i kept making mistake on the rehersal and even the true presentation .But they forgave me and cheer me up. Thank them for being such kind and understanding , so i promise myself to be better and better.And before the presentation, i really appreciated everybody hardwork .Because of everyone cooperation we made up a good team .
