My name is Navreet and I am in associate of science degree. My hobbies are listening music as it is my biggest escape from all my stress and worries. I love to cook as well. I am taking this course as one of my electives but along with that I am an international student so being in new culture and people makes me nervous and I sometimes hold myself back while speaking so by taking this course I just want myself to be confident while communicating.
I become anxious when I forget what to speak next in front of audience.
