I was never used to putting my ideas out into the world, most of the time I would stay quiet in class, and just follow along. I felt really frightened of standing and speaking in front of an audience, I was scared of whether they would laugh at me, whether I would mix up my words or I would stop like a deer in front of headlights. DofE pushed me to do the right thing and take matters into my own hands, I started to take Public Speaking classes for 3 moths and now not only am I on my last grade but I feel changed. More confident, less scared, a person who wouldn't be afraid to take risks, a person who would dare. DofE helped me make a leap that I never though I could accomplish.
