history: I have to go to court for a speeding ticket and i am worried and nervous over the whole ordeal. I am worried about my upcoming court date. :( I wish I could relate_comma_ but I've never had to go to court. I hope it goes smoothly for you. All I've ever heard is to dress appropriately and to speak as respectfully as you can as possible. 
current: Yea that's what my attorney keeps telling me. I don't want to have to pay a large fine.
next: I hope for your sake that you don't have to, either. But this doesn't have to define you. How you respond can, though. If you're mentally tough, it will be a bump in the road. I guess do whatever you can to maintain healthy focus.
