Something I Used to Avoid, But Now Enjoy - Public Speaking

One of my students took this photo of me about a month ago when I was giving a short speech before an audience of about 100 to 150 at the University of Sopron. I used to hate public speaking and the very thought of having to say anything before a large group of people would have sent me running from the building, but over the past two decades I have improved tremendously. I actually look forward to speaking before larger groups now. All I have to focus on from here on in is not boring audiences to death!
