I am thinking about joining Toastmasters. I am told that it helps with your speech. I need to learn how to talk to people and express my ideas verbally in an organized manner. The way I think is: I am always looking for the perfect thing to say so I end up having all of these words jumbled up inside of my head and I'm not sure which one is going to come out first. My brain is always searching for the right words. I think nerves plays a big part in that.

Toastmasters has transformed the most verbally-paralyzed person into a professional speaker. I fear it a little bit though because in school, my teacher told me I was the worst speaker in speech class. I couldn't seem to get anything right. That really hurt my confidence. I'm hoping this will change my life and make me more outgoing or at least help me talk to people in a people person kind of way.
