I gave a speech at a nursing day event that was held at my college where I was doing my nursing. It was related to the pros and cons of being a nurse or a nursing student. In the speech I really focused on every aspect of nursing degree and working as a nurse as well as what are the advantages and disadvantages of being a nurse. Nursing is a very challenging profession and it demands your dedication, your sacrifice and your knowledge. Many people disregard the importance of nurses but they seem to forget the contribution of nurses in the hospitals. The speech was held on nursing day 2023 in the auditorium of my college and everybody appreciated and gave me standing ovation when I finished my speech. I was feeling really proud. I was on the top of the world. I was on the seventh sky if I must say.

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Actually, I am the person who has more stage fear and I am really afraid of giving any kind of speeches on the stage. So once, during my school prayers, my school teacher has asked me to give a speech on the prayer. So I was very reluctant and feeling very shy to go near the stage and deliver my speech. I was thoroughly prepared and I was ready to give the speech, but the shy feeling didn't allow me to give my speech, but I went, I delivered my speech. I was a little in hurry to finish my speech, but everything went on well. I delivered it perfectly. It was about the Independence Day and how we got independence and after I finished my speech, when I got down from the stage, everyone were congratulating me for completing my speech very well and even I remember my English teacher gave me a pat on my shoulder and appreciated me for the speech and there on I have given many stage performances and many speeches and I even anchored, done anchoring for many performances.

    To begin with, I would love to talk about a speech that I delivered during the occasion of 15th August Independence Day, as the Independence Day is celebrated on 15th August in India. I delivered this speech to all the students and to all its citizens and it was also conducted near my home locality where I need to stand and confront to all the citizens and the neighbourhoods. I actively took participated in that community programs to make people aware of their history as well and to make people understand about what to do in the future outcomes to be a perfect man or human or to make a perfect world as well. To make people encourage about their goals and to make their perspective more stronger related to their nations and to make the people understand that how the struggles were happened in the ancient times compared to now. As we are living in a sophisticated area, the youth and the children are getting more addicted to the internet, websites, dramas and play games. They should understand the importance and they should devote their time to the nation as well by conducting the public awareness related to the programs, cultural programs or the cultural celebrations, national celebrations.

    Giving speech in front of someone helps to improve our personality or improve our confidence. I was given the speech in the front of assembly when I was in the 8th standard. It is a regular assembly duty which is given by my class teacher. It was the day when my turn was to give the speech in the assembly in front of all the students and the teachers and my topic is nature. As we know that nature is very beautiful so I prepared some lines on the nature. I speak about nature like nature is very beautiful, our surrounding is very good, we can grow plants so we help to improve our natural environment and our environment is also helpful to give oxygen and provide oxygen and a good oxygen. This speech is from the first day I feel very nervous when my teacher has given me this duty. I feel nervous because I have never prepared for this but after one hour I try to speak in front of the mirror and I made confidence in me and when I speak in front of the assembly I feel very confident and after completing my speech I feel very happy and energetic.

    So, when I was in my twelfth standard, I gave a speech on two matrims, they are the children of our tenth group of six, and they are just seven and ten years old children, and it's all about in the month of December, and I tell and give a speech to the students and teachers of the school about their life and what they have done at that time as the enemy and a bad person who made them die, known as Aurangzeb Vazir Khan, and I tell all about him, why did he do this thing, and I tell all about the history of Guru Gobind Singh ji and the children, and as their children, they were very brave at that time, and now there are many historical temples are also available in India, which contributes their martyrdom for their Sikhism, and I tell all about the history of that.
